Join Exhibiting Evan Robinson for an artist talk in conjunction with his exhibition, marrowline

marrowline brings together sculptural and printed works shaped by memory, mourning, and
spiritual passage. At its core are carved birchwood vessels—sealed boxes printed onto paper to create traces of what’s held and withheld. Alongside these are cyanotype images of horizon lines, evoking shifting atmospheres. Repeated forms—teeth, intestines, coiling figures—gesture toward cycles of strength and vulnerability, survival and surrender. Influenced by Nisga’a understandings of parting as a passage requiring accompaniment, the work echoes gestures of
care and remembrance, inviting viewers into a space where recollection moves not behind us, but around us.

 
Opening Reception: Saturday, June 14, 7pm-9pm.
 

Evan Robinson (b. 1999) is a Nisga’a artist from the Pacific Northwest Coast, born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta. Working between the street and the studio, he uses printmaking, paste-ups, spray paint, and ink painting to explore the threads between cultural inheritance and lived experience. His work often engages with Nisga’a creation stories, reimagining them in contemporary contexts. Robinson holds a BFA from the University of Alberta (2024), and his
work has been included in exhibitions such as Fields at Access Gallery (Vancouver, BC) and Self-ish at the Stollery Gallery (Edmonton, AB).
