April 5 to June 14, 2014

Opening Reception: Saturday April 5, 6:30 to 8pm

Rodney Konopaki is based in Vancouver, B.C. and teaches in the visual arts department at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. His practice is grounded in print media, drawing and painting. Rhonda Neufeld lives and works in Armstrong, B.C. and taught in the visual arts department at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops. Her practice is based in print media, drawing and installation. Together, they have been walking and drawing their way through urban, rural and wilderness environments over the past five years. They have explored communities and locales across Canada creating collaborative drawings and prints that attempt to capture a sense of place unique to every location.

For this project, Rodney Konopaki and Rhonda Neufeld walk Kamloops marking their movement across the topography and hinting at visual elements in their surroundings. Drawing from formal and phenomenological methods, the artists walk side by side while employing a type of intaglio technique and drawing on a shared piece of paper. Gouged marks and the absence of pigment combine with drawn lines and fields of colour to represent the terrain and familiar sites of the Kamloops area. It is a visceral process that pushes their collaboration to explore print media and drawing beyond traditional techniques.
