At a certain point during evolution, the sudden appearance of
photosynthesis-based flowering plants sped up the process of energy and
provided food source for new creatures. The perpetuating energy and beauty
locked inside them are transmitted to new lives. In British Columbia, where
vegetation is so abundant, the symbolic meaning of plants’ life cycles is
ceaselessly reflected in artworks. Formulation of Time is a photography
exhibition that showcases four artists’ interpretation of this theme.

 

Phyllis Schwartz and Edward Peck are artists whose practice contemplates the
full cycle of natural growth and transitions that are in an ever-changing
state. They use plant-based materials to create photo-based works of art
that speak to issues of permanence and impermanence. Their work has the
capacity to engage viewers to contemplate ephemerality, change and
transition in the ever-changing natural world. Phyllis Schwartz will exhibit
plant-based lumen prints, and Edward Peck will exhibit two-dimensional
high-resolution plant-based abstract compositions.

 

Desirée Patterson’s Point De Fusion series depicts natural landscapes and
plants that appear to be melting into abstraction. With a high aesthetic
value, the series aims to connect viewers by evoking a sense of awe and
wonder, with a prophetic underlying current. The title, Point de Fusion,
references the melting point of an object at atmospheric pressure; the
moment when its physical state changes and it becomes a liquid. As the
landscape begins to thaw, the idea of motion is implied in an image that
once was still.

 

Sand Wan’s large-scale, black-and-white Immortality series emphasizes the
seemingly tranquil but everchanging forests along the Pacific Northwest
coast and Fraser River. With black-and-white photography, which lends
timelessness and classic quality to his images, he captures the forests in
their prime time and the trees’ last resting place along the coastline where
they lie as driftwood.
