Kate Stinson – NFLD II, image transfer and ink on paper, 24″x30″, 2012
Corridor Gallery
In Passing
Kate Stinson
August 1 – 28 2012
Kate Stinson’s new works on paper illustrate Newfoundland in passing at the Corridor Gallery from August 1 – 28, 2012. Describing the exhibition, Stinson explains:
“In Passing” is a series of photo transfers with ink additions that speak to the collective experience of traveling in Canada. The prints exhibited are subtle, faded, landscapes that are reminiscent of looking through a foggy window or of a degraded Polaroid. Taken while on the highway, between places, these images represent the state of transition that comes with being en route. They are a reflection of the the quiet moments one experiences when faced with the vastness of our country.
Kate Stinson is an emerging artist living in Halifax, graduating from NSCAD University in the spring of 2011. During her studies she exhibited in solo and group exhibitions at the Anna Leonowens Gallery and curated Soapbox, the annual feminist collective exhibition. Since then, she has exhibited at Eyelevel Gallery, Argyle Fine Art, the Khyber Arts Society, 1313 Hollis, and is currently represented by Seeds Gallery.
Located inside the Visual Arts Nova Scotia (VANS) office at the Halifax Seaport, since 2000, the Corridor Gallery is complimented by a historical legacy of Nova Scotia culture, simple yet modern architectural elements and an array of current cultural activity in the Cultural Federations of Nova Scotia office. The Corridor Gallery is located at 1113 Marginal Road, Halifax, Nova Scotia and is open Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm.

I had the opportunity to meet Kate last spring during an Extended Studies printmaking class at NSCADU. Watching her at the press working on images was fascinating. Can’t wait to take some time to explore this exhibition. I get great pleasure from working next to the Visual Arts NS office, and the Corridor Gallery. Seeing each body of work take its turn on the walls makes our shared spaced that much more exciting.
