In response to Emily Carr’s travels to remote locations and the ceramic objects she produced for the tourist market, Vancouver-based artist Gareth Moore travelled through Europe, North America and Asia to investigate sites-some dating to prehistoric eras and others inhabited more recently-in which stone has a notable significance. During his travels, Moore produced stone carvings for exchange or sale to fellow travellers, as well as plein-air drawings incorporating found materials from the sites he visited.
In Dialogue with Carr: Gareth Moore features a new work by Moore that includes objects and materials gathered during his journeys, as well as a selection of Emily Carr’s ceramics, presented in relation to the specific physical structure of the gallery space.
