SIGN OF THE TIMES

Inspired by the MOTEL sign in Coleman the pieces in the show are a discourse between 'civilization' and nature. Tara has placed bright neon lights that fight for you attention into the silent landscapes that exist in all their beauty with or without you.  

"Neon signs are synonymous with the Vancouver I grew up in - to buying a pair of red patent shoes, big buckets of popcorn during afternoon movies, to going to Woodwards - all those experiences were lit up in flashing neon signs. To place them in my adult playground of the mountains begs the question of how nature inspires human creation of entertainment and shelter." - Tara

The pieces act as a reminder to look up from your devices and look around. As Ferris Bueller once said. "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
