Terry O'Flanagan: Exposure

Additional Information

Using reclaimed components of old farm houses, decorative furnishings, abandoned bits of material culture, and paint, mixed media artist, Terry O'Flanagan, creates bold works that refer simultaneously to vernacular prairie architecture and the surrounding natural environment. O'Flanagan scavenges his material from roadsides, abandoned houses, and from homes that are being refurbished. His material choices evoke well-worn reminiscences of lived experience on the prairies and the challenges that the environment imposes upon those who live on and work the land. Exposure rekindles our relationship to our collective presence in Saskatchewan and to a rural life that seems to be passing from sight.
