Latent Heat / Latent Light


Latent Heat / Latent Light features artwork by Meghan Horosko and Corwyn Lund and opens Saturday October 24 with a public reception from 2pm-5pm.

The exhibition runs from October 24th through to November 14th, by hours or by appointment. 

Time is of the essence, but this is not a call to be rushed. For Meghan Horosko and Corwyn Lund it is deliberate, expert time. It is intentional time, unhurried walking time, thoughtful Thoreau time. Studied and slowed time. Time enough for experience to brush with chance. Latent time.

For Horosko, it is time outside, walking with a camera, searching, composing and finally exposure time. Waiting for the right weather conditions for an outing; or the chance of inspiration just around the next hill top or around the next bend. Or the processing time in the darkroom developing images, waiting as the chemicals reveal the captured light as a silver gelatin print. Time processing again to transform a photograph into a polymer plate. Pressure time to find the way the shallow etching of the plate holds the ink and transfers to the paper, turning deep shadows into flat areas of colour, compressing the image, sacrificing detail, but adding abstraction. Latent Light.

For Lund, it is time in the studio, sample time, measured material research time, kiln time and cooling time. Time for knowledge to meet the unexpected. It is object research, communicating with a material history across millennia. Geological time, pressed and refined. Pattern time, drying time, warming time, and cooling time. Consider and adapt time. Over-glazed tiles, coloured glaze melting pooling blending and burring onto commercial tiles incised, shaped and slumped over forms made of kiln brick. Records of their own making, and given the nature of ceramics, survivors of their own making. Latent Heat.

Both artists deeply engage material science in making their work. Thin synthetic reactions spread across a surface, with light, heat and pressure exceeding their forces to change states. From solid to liquid, fusing to create new images. Each has a set of chemistry and process that must be followed, timing that must be honored. Too little time and nothing happens; creations are underbaked and underexposed. Too much time and the image is gone, overexposed, washed out, pooled in the kiln bed. The right time is the time between. The melting point of a glaze or a waterfall freezing. A moment where planning, experience and the respective energy of Horosko and Lund transforms materials, meeting the unexpected, or revealing something hidden. No rush, but time is of the essence.

Lund has participated in ceramic residencies in the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, China, and Canada. His ceramic work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Alberta University of the Arts, Headstone Gallery in New York state, and Zalucky Contemporary in Toronto, and is held in the permanent collections of the Boijmans Museum in Rotterdam, Archie Bray Foundation, Alfred Ceramic Art Museum, and Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery. Works in other media are held in several prominent Canadian corporate and private collections. https://corwynlund.com/
