After Wrappers: Big Rock Candy Mountain

Jun - Aug 2025
Nanaimo Art Gallery, Nanaimo, BC - To Jul 13

by Michael Turner

Big Rock Candy Mountain is a collective comprised of Hannah Jickling, Reed H. Reed, guest artists and elementary school students. The title of the exhibition is derived from a collaboration with Grade 5 and 6 students from Hätr'unohtän zho/Robert Service School in Dawson City, YK, where participants designed glass bottle shapes and a soda flavour concept. Works featured include sculptures, video, prints and edible objects. SOUR VS SOUR chocolate bars will be on display in the gallery and available for sale in the gallery store.
