ART at ECB Present: Julie Whitenect and Maggie Higgins

Julie Whitenect

“turn-out” is a collection of prints by Saint John artist Julie Whitenect. The exhibit examines gatherings, groups, and goings-on. Whitenect selects and alters images to disengage the elements from their context and disassociate the viewer from their origin. “I am forcing a reconsideration of the symbols that surround us, by selecting and omitting what the viewer sees.“

Maggie Higgins

“AVES: elegy for birds” is an exhibit of paintings, drawings, and photography by Saint John artist Maggie Higgins. The exhibit is inspired by bird specimens (aves) from the New Brunswick Museum and private taxidermy collections. Higgins’ work focuses on the relationship between the human and natural world, specifically exploring the precarious balance and complex ethics of their interactions.
