Last chance to see Blurred Boundaries, this Saturday, May 16th 12-3pm at our closing reception. Blurred Boundaries is a collaborative exhibition by Selené Huff (Canada) and Jessalyn Finch (Minnesota, US) that brings together large-scale drawing and sculpture to explore the body as both form and environment. Through immersive charcoal drawings and sculptural works in steel and cardboard, the exhibition invites viewers into a space shaped by movement, memory, and the shifting nature of identity. Through biomorphic forms, gestural mark-making, and sculptural interventions, the exhibition reimagines the female body as fluid, shifting, and deeply interconnected with memory, identity, and environment. Huff’s forged steel works, created from reclaimed industrial materials, bring strength and resilience into dialogue with Finch’s paper-based forms, which evoke vulnerability, movement, and transformation.

Thank you to everyone who joined us last Saturday for the artist talk and screening of Embodied Landscapes in conjunction with Blurred Boundaries ✨ Bringing together large-scale drawing and sculpture, the exhibition explores the body as both form and environment — shaped by movement, memory, and shifting identity. Through paper, steel, and cardboard, the works of @selenehuff and @jessalynfinch reimagine the female body as evolving, resilient, and elemental. So grateful for the thoughtful conversations, generous presence, and beautiful energy in the space

Tomorrow! Join us at Bleeding Heart at 1:00pm for the Artist talk with Selene Huff & Jessalyn Finch and stay for a screening of the short art film “Embodied Landscapes,” co-directed by Jessalyn Finch. Embodied Landscapes is a short film that blurs the boundaries between dance, sculpture, drawing, and environment. Presented by co-director and visual artist Jessalyn Finch, the film follows a wanderer through interior worlds made visible. Guided by an otherworldly presence through landscapes of memory, belief, distortion, and release. Crafted entirely by a three-women creative team, Embodied Landscapes is an excavation of what lies beneath the surface of the self. Through the film’s immersive visual language, each stage becomes an act of feeling, shedding, and moving deeper. What emerges is a study in transformation: part ritual, part confrontation, part rebirth. Selected for the Berlin Indie Film Festival and IndieX Film Fest

Bleeding Heart presents an evening with Edmonton’s finest song crafters! Wednesday May 27, All Ages! featuring: l.n baba l.n. baba is a singer-songwriter based in Edmonton. Inspired by oddball songwriters like Connie Converse and Arthur Russell, l.n. baba embraces imperfection, crafting homemade songs characterized by intricate guitar work, witty wordplay, and l.n.’s distinct baritone. Brenna Lowrie Brenna Lowrie is an Alberta musician and songwriter who makes home recordings of gently psychedelic folk songs. Droning guitar work and a disarming voice create a foundation for enchantment as she sings about the pain and beauty of fumbling through life in these mortal forms. Old Mound Stream-of-consciousness lyrics, gliding freak vocals and fuzzed out minimalist bass riffs rule the psychic landscape of Old Mound, a witchy post-metal project fronted by Wes Christiansen. Meditative and uncanny, this solo endeavour plies the queer trauma prairie landscapes of Southern Alberta with old haunts to emerge supreme with new wisdom and oracular vision. And Jeremy Witten Cash or Card will be accepted for tickets and refreshments at the door See you there!

Meet Selené Huff, a visual artist based in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada (Treaty 6 and 7 Territory: the ancestral home of the Siksikaitsitapi (Blackfoot Confederacy), Tsuut’ina, Stoney Nakoda, Cree, Saulteaux, and Métis peoples). Huff’s sculptures transform industrial detritus into abstract forms that evoke the female body and embodied experience. A former aerospace welder, Huff holds a Journeyperson’s ticket in welding from NAIT (2016) and earned her MFA in Sculpture from the University of Alberta in 2020. Drawing on her technical background and artistic training, Huff’s creative research explores the intersections of industrial labor, material memory, and the physical form. Utilizing salvaged steel sourced from Albertan scrap yards, she employs forging, casting and fabrication techniques to produce biomorphic sculptures that interrogate assumptions around strength, femininity, and materiality. Her work challenges the boundaries between body and object, creating tactile, abstract forms that reflect the resilience and complexity of lived experience. Huff currently serves as a Sculpture Instructor and Visual Arts Technician at Red Deer Polytechnic and has previously taught sculpture courses at both Red Deer Polytechnic and the University of Alberta. She has exhibited her work across Alberta and in the United States. She has contributed to public art projects as a technician and assistant in both Canada and the UK. Follow @ Selene Huff

Just announced! May 23rd at St Mary’s! An evening of outsider electronics, heavy drones and experimental sounds with special guest Tim Olive from Kobe, Japan! Ticket link in bio Interior Network & OKRA present Tim Olive (Japan) Tim Olive uses magnetic pickups and simple analog technology to investigate, invoke and amplify the inner voices of metal objects. Delightful mayhem — strong, loud, bold and determined, without being as inchoate or alienating as harsh noise or table noise, although there are still moments of distortion and feedback to satisfy those with a thirst for blackness. At all times Tim Olive appears to be in full control of his sources, directing and diverting them as he will, without sacrificing any spontaneity. Excellent release of noisy unkempt churnage and broilery. The sheer inventiveness and originality of his projects always floors me… As ever with anything where Olive is involved, there’s a genuine sense that the music is being explored and invented in real time. with Jacob Audrey Taves Steph Patsula k.burwash Saturday May 23rd Doors 8:00PM Show 8:30PM Poster by @thee_ruiner
