Deryk Houston-Blackbirds, Stooked Wheat and Prayer
Feb 27, 2012 to Apr 07, 2012
Eclectic Gallery, Victoria
Derek Houston has completed large scale ground art projects in Iraq, Canada and Scotland in support of children's rights. Much of his work is about the earth and creating conditions for seeds to grow...a metaphor for the search of peace. In September 2010, Deryk was invited by the director of the Bagdad National Art Gallery to its international art symposium. In March, 2010, he held a one man exhibition at the Canada House Gallery in Banff, Alberta. Houston's work was featured in the National Film Board of Canada documentary, "From Bagdad to Peace Country" directed by Sherry Le Page. His work has been in one man exhibitions in the former Soviet Union, Scotland, Iraq and the United States, and is included in numerous private and public collections, including the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa.*Join us for the opening reception March 1 from 7-9*
