Through walking\, touching\, and closely observing the natural world around her\, Neufeld captures the details of place—tree bark\, stone surfaces\, shifting light—and translates them into prints that hold both memory and presence. \n\n\n\nUsing traditional printmaking techniques\, Neufeld makes rubbings directly from trees and rocks\, transferring those impressions onto copper plates\, wood blocks\, and lithographic stones. The result is a series of works that feel both grounded and poetic\, inviting viewers to slow down and experience the land in a more intimate way. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition is a quiet celebration of place\, a reflection on the joy of being close to nature\, and a way of saying goodbye to a landscape that shaped a lifetime of artmaking. \n\n\n\nPhotography: Digital Perfections \n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n Current Exhibitions\n \n \n \n \n any\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n June 25\, 2026 \n \n MEA Auction Preview\n \n The full 2026 collection of artworks generously donated by local… \n \n Read More\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n May 29\, 2026 \n \n Through Our Eyes\n \n Teen Junction \n \n Read More\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n May 29\, 2026 \n \n Emergence\n \n Select graduating students from the University of British Columbia Okanagan’s… \n \n Read More\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n May 29\, 2026 \n \n Fireline Kinship\n \n Taylor Baptiste \n \n Read More URL:https://vernonpublicartgallery.com/event/rhonda-neufeld-leaving-home CATEGORIES:2025,Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://vernonpublicartgallery.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/01.-R.-Neufeld-Shrine-hi-res-3-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250725T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20251008T170000 DTSTAMP:20260423T171720 CREATED:20250627T212557Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260402T183413Z UID:10000179-1753437600-1759942800@vernonpublicartgallery.com SUMMARY:Soft Architectures DESCRIPTION:Sylvan Hamburger\n\n\n\n\n\nCaroline Galbraith GalleryJuly 25 – October 8\, 2025 \n\n\n\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, July 24\, from 6–8 PM \n\n\n\n\n \n Exhibition Publication \n\n\n\nIn Soft Architectures\, Vancouver-based artist Sylvan Hamburger transforms everyday materials—bedsheets\, plywood\, floral fabrics—into large-scale installations that reflect on the changing face of our cities. Using printmaking\, sculpture\, and found objects\, Hamburger captures the textures of demolished homes and disappearing buildings\, turning them into poetic imprints of memory\, loss\, and resilience. \n\n\n\nHis prints don’t just depict buildings—they are made from them. By pressing fabrics against salvaged wood and walls\, Hamburger gathers physical traces of the spaces we live in\, and the ones we’ve lost. These haunting\, delicate works explore how the surfaces around us—like the grain of old floorboards or the floral pattern of a bedsheet—can hold personal and collective histories. \n\n\n\nSoft Architectures brings together work from the past five years\, documenting not only physical spaces\, but the emotional and cultural imprints they leave behind. At a time of intense change in our communities\, Hamburger’s work offers a thoughtful reminder to look closely at the surfaces around us\, noticing the textures and traces that are often erased in the rush of redevelopment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage Description: Sylvan Hamburger\, Open House Press (detail)\, 2020\, relief print on bedsheet\, wooden dowels\, shiplap boards.
