ARTIST RECEPTION, Monday, September 4

This past August Chris Stoffel Overvoorde spent time at the University of Lethbridge Gushul Studio in Blairmore, Alberta creating new works.

“How do you begin to put in perspective three weeks of intense working at one subject? It was the foothills around here that provided the subject matter for me this time. I did that once before as a watercolor project and that worked out well. I was also interested on pushing the notion of light as kind of spiritual exploration. But how to go about that would be the challenge in any case, so we started this adventure.”
