Holly de Moissac: Grafting Shadows
Holly de Moissac: Grafting Shadows
June 15 - July 7, 2021
FAB Gallery
At the edge of awareness, quiet disturbances remake the world: a stray spark meets the forest, precious helium leaks from a cast-off balloon, a seed crosses oceans on the sole of a shoe. In our fleeting bodies, pain and experience ripple toward the brain in feedback loops—we too are transformed, prepared for uncertain futures as soft disasters teach survival to the mind.
Grafting Shadows employs disturbance as the ghost-writer of the global ecology, telling stories shaped by the vast potentials of discomfort and disaster to both disrupt and strengthen systems of life. These immersive installations and printed works draw close to sites of ecological disconnection, imagining embodied environments where vulnerability is productive, change is desirable, and resilience is essential to our collective survival.

FAB Gallery will be closed on July 1st in respect for the collective grieving occuring in Indigenous Communities across Canada in light of the discovery of thousands of unmarked graves at former Residential Schools. We believe it is important to allow time for education, reflection, and solidarity on this day.
Masks and physical distancing will continue to be required in FAB Gallery as Alberta launches into Stage 3 of the provincial reopening plan on July 2nd. Thank you for your understanding.
