Sandra Semchuk: A Generational Retrospective

Nanaimo Art Gallery, Nanaimo, BC - Feb 7 – Apr 5

by Robin Laurence

Photographic artist Sandra Semchuk celebrates connection and collaboration, beginning with the Ukrainian-Canadian family and community into which she was born. She has also created work with her late husband, the Rock Cree actor, orator and artist James Nicholas, and more recently with Port Alberni–based artist Skeena Reece. This retrospective exhibition ranges across nearly 50 years of Semchuk’s practice and includes video installations exploring generational relationships with the natural world.
