Art 3 p.m. Opening reception
An opening reception will be held from 3-5 p.m. at The Leyton Gallery of Fine Art, 6 Clift’s-baird’s Cove, for Malin Enström’s “berg” and Anita Singh’s “Habitats.” Both exhibitions will run until Oct. 7. To English speakers, “berg” is a nickname for those huge chunks of ice that drift past Newfoundland and Labrador every spring. In its original Nordic context, berg means mountain and bedrock, lending the connotation of massive scale borrowed by ice mountains or icebergs. In this work, Enström explores ideas of scale in the natural world, the cumulative magnitude
of innumerable bits of disintegration of humongous mountains of ice and rock. Singh’s “Habitats” is an exhibition of recent artworks that are inspired by her interest in the natural world on a microscopic scale. The work incorporates printmaking, encaustic painting and a ceramic installation with a video component.
