Rupture / Recuperation is a meditation on the destabilized era which our world is currently facing. Through three large-scale aluminum artworks, Kelowna-based artist Judith K Schwarz navigates the terrain of confusion, imbalance and reparation. Seamlessly blending old and new works, Schwarz confronts the ruptures in our worldview sparked by continuous, unforeseen change, while also illuminating the potential for fresh beginnings.
Whether directly or indirectly, the pandemic, climate change and political dissention affect us all, impacting our well-being and our hope for the future. Every change or loss requires an adaptation and potentially a new understanding of our fragile world.
