Land, Labour, Leaving on display at Treaty Space Gallery, Halifax. NS.
Through photography, drawing, and multi-media installation, artists Logan Rayment, Kuhlein Migue, and Jonathan Carroll investigate ideas of migration, health, and labour. Rayment uses photography to explore the silent changes of non-permanently returning home, creating a narrative about migration/home/labour/rust/family. Migue’s drawings abstract and re-contextualize colonial representations of the Philippine landscape, exploring how colonial extraction affects the land and its people. Carroll uses interactive media to dissect small-scale social history through the commodities that shaped the life of his great grandparents. The show examines how changing migration patterns and the draw of the working wage have shaped their home communities.
MFA COHORT INTROS: Introducing Logan Rayment 📸
Logan Rayment is a Canadian artist telling stories about the lasting effects of industrialism on the landscape and the people who call it home. Working within the contexts of memory, time, and post-colonialism, his upbringing in one of the worldwide “Steel Cities” informs much of his practice. Throughout his work, Logan is interested in exploring how storytelling and photography can act as bridges between collective memory, place, and community. Logan is an MFA Candidate at NSCAD University, where he was awarded the Roloff Beny Photography Scholarship. He completed his BFA at Toronto Metropolitan University, where his thesis “The Veteran’s Archive” was awarded the IMC Student Gallery Production Award in memory of George Fleischmann, as well as the Image Arts Special Collection Award. In 2023, he received the Jack Gilbert Image Arts Award.
Currently between Halifax, Toronto, and Sault Ste Marie.
