Opening Reception: Friday October 4, 7-9pm

Unseen Landscapes grew out of an ongoing inquiry and interest in the landscapes that we constantly move through but don’t always see. The lampposts, mailboxes and street signs that share space with trees, lawns and bushes, seem to have an uneasy relationship. It is a place that can be uninviting rather than ideal. It exudes the banal yet foreboding quality of a film-noir, where the focus on the everyday can expose other dimensions that familiarity can sometimes mask. Exploring the neighborhoods of Victoria through a series of drawings in charcoal, chalk and pastel, Hamilton seeks to create a visual relationship that merges the seemingly ordinary with the complex and profound. As the cityscape constantly changes, a portrait of these places emerges, that is both ordinary and complex but also familiar and unknown.
