On view in the Member’s Gallery of the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art is ‘Upon Reflection’ by Okanagan-based artist Myrna Button. Influenced by her time travelling throughout the Arctic, Myrna Button has been experimenting with deliberately cracked and fragmented mirrors to mimic the natural patterns that appear in the Arctic ice. Rather than the traditional discouraging reading of cracked or broken mirrors, Button re-considers them as imparting a sense of safety and freedom by referencing her time spent ruminating while travelling across the frozen Arctic rivers and lakes. ‘Upon Reflection’ implicates the viewer into the work through the use of mirrors to encourage introspection and consideration of how the last few years have exacerbated how we reflect on ourselves and the circumstances that shape us. ‘Upon Reflection’ will be on view until April 30. The Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art is open Tuesday to Friday, 11am – 6pm, and Saturday 11am – 4pm. To learn more about this exhibition visit http://www.alternatorcentre.com.
