Susan Feindel: Scan

Through paintings, videos, bookworks and mixed-media installations, Nova Scotian artist Susan Feindel continues her investigations into remote sensing in marine and medical environments. The works in Scan are prompted by the artist’s ecological concerns for the fragile structures of marine life off the Scotian Shelf, and the complexities of the human presence there; however, curator Susan Gibson Garvey comments that what most interests her is “how the sensuous and tactile nature of the work itself acts as a counterpart to its clinical and scientific sources, creating a poetic tension between what is known, what is sensed, and what is impossible to know.”
