Laura Millard’s exhibition trace, on view at the Visual Arts Centre’s McClure Gallery, engages with the language of drawing and gesture in relation to the landscape while questioning the traces our actions leave behind.

The project explores pasts and potential futures and invites the listener to get involved. Extended over two centuries by up to a kilometre with infill from urban mega-projects, local industrial waste, and even the buried residues of the City’s one-time garbage dump, this shoreline is emblematic of ways that people have abused and neglected urban rivers.

Freefall. Like stepping into an abyss, the global community has recently entered into a period of relative freefall, where old answers provide few solutions and new architectures have to be constructed.
