Land Marks – 2026.06.05-07

For this exhibition, Land Marks unfold in many ways: a mark upon land, a mark made by land, and a marker that orients bodies in space and time. The artworks gathered here, explore this layered definition to trace the deep and receptacle relationship between humans and the ground beneath us. Through material inquiry and embodied gesture, the artists consider how markings — natural or manufactured— shape our sense of place. Through sculptures and installations, the artists use fibres, felt, clay, natural dyes to examine how land is marked, measured, remembered, and transformed.

The artworks reveal how forces write themselves onto the landscape and how the land is reshaped by natural and human activity. Sarah Delaney’s Land Parcels reflect the tensions of care, constraint, and territorial ownership that humans imprint onto the land.

Minahil Bukhari’s artwork transforms earth?based materials and Urdu and Arabic script into sculptural gestures that resist legibility, marking a threshold between memory and history.

Through crocheted jute stitches that correspond to the artist’s daily walk, Richelle Greabeiel’s passos becomes a tactile record of embodied movement informed by the land.

For some, landmarks operate as links to the natural world and are carriers of meaning. Blending the tactile and the symbolic, Mathilde Rohr’s Felt projects portal-like landmarks that span between inner and outer worlds and human and more-than-human realms and Sophena Kwon’s Portal series is a quiet threshold where natural dyes and cloth converge to invite pause and presence.

A landmark acts like an anchor, locating us, guiding us, and holding collective memory and history. Angie Heintz’s Land. Mark. Tonnes. and Land. Mark. Seas. evoke the enduring pull of landmarks through a tower-like beacon of memory and movement. In Sarah Delaney’s Stacked, she uses hand-built clay beads to form a wayfinding device that not only marks direction but traces passage through time.
