Steveston Museum and Post Office
3811 Moncton Street
Welcome March Pop Up Artists Erika Koenig-Workman and the collaborative art project that Richmond Arts Conservatory did with grade 6 & 7 students from McKinney and Westwind (inspired by the work of Tomoaki Murayama). Murayama’s pieces delicately intertwine animals and plants, embodying a profound sense of communion with the natural world. Tomoaki Murayama utilizes monochromatic pens to intricately depict the natural world in unique black-and-white art, rich with grayscale gradients. His installations merge three-dimensional modeling with two-dimensional drawings.

Ongoing – June 24
Exhibition: Ya-Wei Lin – Invisibility
Richmond Cultural Centre Annex – The Annex Gallery
7660 Minoru Gate
Photography, whether still or animated, is Richmond-based artist Ya-Wei Lin’s preferred medium for narrating the world, including daily activities, life experiences, events, and moments as she sees them. Since 2010, her ongoing photographic practice has focused on exploring the meaning of visibility in the context of urban culture. These images depict the fleeting and subtle moments of the seemingly unchanging cityscape, such as the geometric shapes of the many high-rise buildings and urban dwellers’ routine social behavior.

Birds and Rocks in Cloud City presents a lively natural world integrating the two cultures dear to the Chinese-Canadian multidisciplinary artist Jiangang Su.

Equally meticulously depicted are the amorphous and porous Taihu (Lake Tai) rocks that are native to Su’s home region Suzhou, which have been appreciated by Chinese literati throughout the millennia.

In Lori’s books, lectures, workshops, and YouTube Channel, she teaches her “Speedy Solutions” techniques: her scrapping rules, her tools of the trade, how she sorts & identifies value, and all her speedy methods of turning an unorganized stash of wrinkled scrap fabrics into a beautifully organized stash of fabric ready to be USED to make great quilts!
