Emma Palm lives and works between the Central-Alberta prairies, and Vancouver Island's craggy coastline. A strong sense of community, want to 'get her hands dirty', and affinity for well-worn denim are souvenirs of a rural childhood. As an artist she is interested in acts of remembrance, storytelling, and archival processes.

Seth Smith's paintings reflect his need to escape into a world of eerie motels, 1000 ft ships, wind lapped leaves, sunburned exteriors, biscuits and gravy, window unit buzz, free HBO, poorly lit diners, cool shade over pools, the absurdity of the jet set, and the open roads they all live on.
