Sprawl. You won't find any soccer moms, golf-bag-toting dads, streets brimming with SUVs, or kids playing road hockey in Susan Dobson's photographs; their presence is felt through their absence. Her careful documentation of the everyday and the absurd, in and around Oakville, offers a rich account of life in-between the urban city centre and the rural expanse.

You won't find any soccer moms, golf-bag-toting dads, streets brimming with
SUVs, or kids playing road hockey in Susan Dobson's photographs; their
presence is felt through their absence. Her careful documentation of the
everyday and the absurd, in and around Oakville, offers a rich account of
life in-between the urban city centre and the rural expanse.
While the
images are specifically focused on the locale of Oakville, they could be
from anywhere in North America.
This exhibition is about the transformative
effects of modernity as revealed by our everyday experience of the sprawling
landscape.
Opening: Friday, November 22, 7:30 to 8:30 pm at Centennial Square followed
by a reception in Gairloch Gardens at 8:30 pm.
