Doug Guildford

NORTH ATLANTIC:

back shore clam flats (low tide)

 

Two acrylic screen prints on frosted mylar

91cm x 61cm each, 2025

 

Artist's words:

 

I live in Nova Scotia at the edge of the North Atlantic Ocean. The intertidal zone, that stretch of shore between the high and the low tides, is rich, shape-shifting, amphibious and non-binary, in nature. I am at home there.

 

About Doug Guildford

 

Doug Guildford is a largely self-taught Canadian visual artist, living in rural Nova Scotia with his partner, the playwright, Don Hannah. His practice is rooted in drawing, encompasses printmaking, collection, and the manipulation and fabrication of objects. It allows for obsessive sculptural crochet projects. It acts as a shorthand for his take on the universe; lab notes; a compulsive kind of journal entry, and perhaps, a distillation of accumulated knowledge.  It wanders suggestively between male and female.

About Lam Tung Pang

 

Lam was mistaken for a painter since childhood because of his love for drawing. He has phobias such as dance, music, drama, literature, movies, cats, hair, and flying etc. Since 2020, he eliminates "fear" as a means of self-decolonization. Lam now lives in west-coast of Canada to reconnect with the world.
