To work with residue, refuse, salvage, and waste necessitates moving through the world with openness and curiosity, slowly gathering materials over time and through various means. This is not mere 'resourcefulness' but a major principle in terms of how Tia Bates, Danielle Petti, and Masha Kouznetsova work and understand value in sourcing the material and immaterial aspects of their artwork. In the exhibition over and over and over and each artist has cultivated their own approach to the transformation of found materials, a further translation of their embodied experiences. The distortion or alteration of materials occurs through pulping, setting, melting, illuminating, recording, and transmitting with paper, water, cement, beeswax, light, soundwaves, acetate and metals. A concept, a rock, an image or a sound is revisited time and time again, revealing itself bit by bit. Matter is never fixed, but ever changing through multiple iterations of a singular installation, and time is embraced as medium. Over and over and over and over and over and…

London, Ontario has long been known as a test site, a place where new products are introduced to measure their success across various socioeconomic demographics and markets. This exhibition reimagines that consumption-based label, focusing instead on the Centre for Sustainable Curating's efforts in 'testing' (defined as a critical examination, observation, or evaluation) new possibilities and futures. Bringing together past and ongoing experiments by the CSC—such as those involving light and shadow, visible mending, compostable signage, collaborative ownership, solar archiving, and collecting as redistribution—Test Site asks: What traces and marks are left behind by an exhibition?

This exhibition is the culmination of a project that has been in development since my time as a student at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be) consists of select drawings created during my two years as an MFA candidate.
The drawings explore the beauty of everyday life, seeking to bring attention to moments, objects and spaces that are often overlooked, using coloured pencil, an overlooked fine arts medium. I am inspired by scenes I have discovered in passing, choosing to capture what stands out to me in the moment I encounter it. I emphasize these moments by highlighting elements of lighting, colour and reflection. My work is a way for me to find comfort in isolation and to cope with the inevitable passage of time, as I view the world with a sense of childlike wonder.
