JILL HO-YOU, IN THE DUST I, 2015 COURTESY OF THE ARTIST

Jill Ho-you: Inversion

The New Gallery (TNG), Calgary, AB - To Feb 9

by Robin Laurence

This print-based installation projects a future in which the planet Earth has become uninhabitable through global warming and unsustainable development. Calgary-based artist Jill Ho-You uses interwoven fragments of cosmological, biological, mechanical and architectural imagery to create what the gallery calls “a speculative history of the Earth from creation to destruction.” The installation also includes a video projection and – unexpectedly – mould and bacteria cultured in Petri dishes.
