NO THING

Sandi Hartling

Victoria Park

Lie in the grass and look up at the clouds: the fleeting shapes create images from nothing and entice us to impose meaning on nebulous stimulus. Is it possible to imagine something new? Something different?

Curated Project

Sandi Hartling is an interdisciplinary artist residing in Prince Edward Island. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Sir Wilfred Grenfell College, Memorial University of Newfoundland in 2007. Recent work includes the exhibition Things We Can Agree On and Other Works of Fiction (Confederation Centre Art Gallery, Charlottetown, PEI), Set Design for Unrealized Production (Nature) (Third Shift, St. John, NB), and Paradise Mirage (Supercrawl, Hamilton, Ontario). Her work typically takes the form of text based installations that explore perceptions of truth. Although the work strives for simplicity in format it complicates understanding through the application of abstract communication. In this way, the work is inherently humorous and often results in anticlimactic outcomes.
