Dundarave Print Workshop + Gallery

Looking for something to do this weekend? Come by and see Taryn Walker’s exhibition, Traffic Noise & Field Notes! Open until June 14th 🦝

Traffic Noise & Field Notes marks a culmination of Walker’s artistic inquiry into our relationship to past, present, and future, and the BC landscape (urban and otherwise) through the medium of print. Highlighted in this exhibition are many prints from Walker’s MFA thesis, S/núye Built My Time Machine, which is a body of work that investigates art-making as a strategy for both locating and creating sites of futurity through transformations of the everyday. With images and materials derived from urban landscape, this series of laser-etched woodblock prints reflects on the parts of our world that reveal glimmers of infinite potential futures. These are glimmers that manifest in often mundane and unexpected ways, whether that be traffic cones in fantastical formations or crows tussling with a bag of chips. These moments are reinvented as otherworldly images and objects that blur the lines between reality and fiction, traditional and contemporary, material and technology. Here time is imagined outside of colonial structures and vibrates in a tangle of past, present, and future. S/núye Built My Time Machine poses the questions: “What is possible?” “What is present?” and most importantly, “Are you ready to step into the portal?”

Taryn Walker (they/she) is an award-winning q***r, interdisciplinary mixed-Indigenous artist of Nlaka’pamux, Syilx, and European ancestry currently based in the unceded territories of the xwməθkwəy ̓ əm, Skwxwú7mesh, and Səl ̓ ílwətaɬ Nations. Their work explores themes of futurity, spiraling time, utopia, tenderness, playfulness, healing, and cycles of life and death through drawing, printmaking, installation, video, and sound.

In 2018, Walker graduated from the University of Victoria’s BFA program with a Major in Visual Arts and a Minor in Art History & Visual Studies. In December 2024, Walker completed their MFA at Simon Fraser University in Interdisciplinary Contemporary Arts. Walker’s work has been presented in spaces, residencies, and events across Canada, the United States, and beyond.

Join us tonight, May 27th, for the opening reception of Traffic Noise & Field Notes from 7-9pm 🗒️

Introduction to Monotype is back at Dundarave Print Workshop + Gallery on June 12th, 6-9pm 💫

Introduction to Monotype is well suited to both those who are new to printmaking and those who wish to add another technique to their practice. By the end of this three-hour workshop participants will have a basic understanding of monotype printing and have a small collection of prints to take home.

If you’re a fan of painting, then you will enjoy monotype printing! Monotype is the process of layering inks and different textures onto a Plexi-glass surface to create an image that is then printed onto paper. Through this course you’ll learn to print with a stencil, how to add colour, how to add and subtract parts of a form to create a fun image.
