May 3 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm
The public is invited to the opening of the art exhibit The Shape of Memory by Sackville artist Alexandrya Eaton at the Capitol Theatre Art Gallery on Friday, May 3rd at 5 p.m.
Alexandrya Eaton is a contemporary visual artist whose practice includes painting, textiles, sculpture, and weaving. Eaton has had fifty solo exhibitions, participated in numerous group exhibitions, and her work can be found in many private and public collections across Canada and internationally. For the past three decades, Eaton has maintained a steadfast commitment to studio practice, a rigorous exhibition schedule, and a longstanding commitment to community involvement. Eaton’s current research examines how fabric manipulations can be incorporated into painting practice, and how the canvas, a woven material, accepts these folds and stitches, conceptually exploring layers and connections of material and memory.
