Seldom Seen by Theresa MacKnight, 2022. Oil on wood.

AX is pleased to welcome artist Theresa MacKnight to the gallery with our newest exhibition, Habitat Narratives. Habitat Narratives draws inspiration from New Brunswick habitats and the animals that must continuously adapt, regardless of humans’ intentions or wishes.

Theresa’s work is based on nighttime footage of deer from trail cameras, capturing their interactions as they gather in small groups. The black-and-white trail cameras gave Theresa the freedom to use colour in imaginative ways to add to the story in the paintings. Some of Theresa’s paintings include human figures, which also adds to the narrative and creates a sense of dreamlike mystery.

We acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.

Join us in the AX gallery on Saturday, September 3, at 2:00 p.m. for an artist talk featuring Theresa MacKnight. Theresa will discuss her work and take questions from attendees. Admission is free and no registration is required.
