About the exhibition
In Broad Daylight, presented the work of 2022 Summer Artist-in-Residence, Tangiene Martin-O'Hara. Several of the large scale drawings focus on an incident of sexual violence in Bowring Park and the local media coverage it received. As a whole, the drawings and paintings challenge commonly held notions of nature and the sublime landscape. The work seeks to understand, with care and slow consideration, experiences of trauma and sexualized violence. Tangiene’s residency was supported in part through an Explore and Create Grant from the Canada Council for the Arts.
Tangiene Martin-O’Hara is an Elmastukwek-based artist, who grew up Treaty 6 territory in Edmonton, Alberta. She is a recent winner of the provincial Arts and Letters Award in Visual Arts, past participant in the FARR residency, and a board member for the League of Artists of Western Newfoundland (LAWN) and The Cloud Factory Artist-Run Centre.
