Colin Lyons (QC) Oceanex Avalon

Oceanex Avalon is a performative sculpture which enacts a ceremonial burial of remnants of Newfoundland’s past economic cornerstones and considers the theme of industry through the lens of fragility and impermanence, mining the symbolic potential of traces and remnants. Using copper etching plates, Lyons has constructed a model of a massive cargo ship which will be set out into a bath of etching acid and left to slowly erode throughout the duration of the exhibition, destroyed by its own means of production. Colin Lyons graduated from Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick, in 2007, and is currently pursuing a MFA in Printmaking at the University of Alberta.

Yorodeo (NS) Three Dee Realms

Three Dee Realms pushes the limits of two-dimensional screen-printed images by exploring the process of anaglyphic 3D image making, as well as screen-printed sculptural paper-craft. Yorodeo is the name of Halifax-based screen-printing art team Seth Smith and Paul Hammond. The two partnered in 2003 primarily to design and create screen-printed show posters for local events. Over the last 6 years they have focused their collaborative energy on fine art prints and posters, among other projects. Their work draws inspiration from comic books, science fiction, fantasy and unintentional mistakes, fusing collage, doodles, carefully rendered illustration, pattern and texture.
