Sarah Kernohan’s work is rooted in memory, experiences of landscape, and fascination with the interaction between geological, atmospheric, and ocean processes and phenomena. Snow-blind is a continuation of these investigations, responding to an experience of landscape that is ambiguous and difficult to visually apprehend on account of atmospheric and light conditions. 

The drawings in this exhibition are informed by her experiences visiting alpine terrain in northern Scotland and Alberta, where snowpack has been dwindling over the years. 

Inspired by the life cycle of materials and how these materials are encountered in our everyday environments, Material Flow incorporates industrial building practices to create works which foreground the body and organic forms. Each piece brings forth a sensual quality of the material, positioning it in direct contrast with its utilitarian origin. Christine is an artist currently living in Toronto, Canada.
