<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">August 6, 2021 – Kelowna, BC:</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> The Kelowna Art Gallery unveiled the second site-specific
art installation presented in its recently created Glass Gallery space.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Kelowna-based artist Christina McGovern was selected to showcase her installation titled
<i>Shoreline</i>. Her work plays with the contrast between straight lines, the natural flow of watercolour paints, and the many textures inherent in fibre textiles and raw paper.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">In
<i>Shoreline</i>, McGovern makes use of the natural textures and movement of her freely suspended multi-layered work to reference the Okanagan shores during long hot summer days. In fact, the work is comprised of five separate layers, which give the installation
an added depth and help to create the illusion of a shoreline and receding landscape.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">In 2017, McGovern began to further experiment with artistic mediums and aesthetic, to create what she calls “tapestries on paper”. This would ultimately lay the groundwork
for her most recent work <i>Shoreline.</i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">“Tapestries on Paper emerged from a strong desire to create something that was uniquely mine. The texture and planned perfection of the embroidery element, mixed with the
natural flow of watercolour, is artistically stimulating,” says <b>Christina McGovern</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
