Moored

The Lake Country Art Gallery presents its summer exhibition, Moored,
featuring an installation of artworks by the Davis Road Collective.
Comprising of three women artists, Jane Everett, Lilly Thorne, and Lysle
Barmby, the collective unites their creative skills from various western
cities, driven by a shared concern for the encroachments of industry and
recreation on the pristine interior of BC.

As the delicate balance of lakes and forests faces escalating threats from
clear-cutting, the pine beetle epidemic, and a paradoxical form of
'recreation' that clashes with the very environment it aims to appreciate,
the Davis Road Collective explores these pressing issues through their
unique artistic expressions. Through a harmonious blend of photography,
drawing, and textiles, this exhibition invites viewers to deeply
contemplate their impact on the natural world.

Moored opens Saturday, July 22nd, and runs until September 24th.
