1 THE ART OF LOSS Loss is woven into the tapestry of our lives. The repeated experience of loss becomes a template for managing the loss of those we love and, ultimately, our own demise. GPAG and the Hospice Society invited a number of local artists to consider how experiences of grief and loss can inspire us to live more fully. These works in painting, sculpture, mixed media and videography will inspire reflection and discussion on this intimate, and frequently avoided, topic. A portion of the proceeds from art sales will benefit the work of both GPAG and the Hospice Society. The Hospice Society Loss Loss comes to all of us if we are fortunate enough to spend time here on Earth, in this world full of wonder and potential. Loss of many things, of anything once valued and cherished... Loss of identity, loss of freedom, loss of childhood dreams... Loss of income, health, mobility... Loss of environment... Loss of loved ones. Loss of a child, a parent, a cherished lover, a life partner... Loss of a young person, gone too soon and before their time... Loss of an old life, of a life well lived, a skin well lived in, creased with the many lines of adventures taken along the way. Is the glass half full or half empty? A sense of grief can surround those who have lost those beloved but also a sense of joy for having loved or having been loved. Surely that is the most wondrous gift of all.

Throughout my life I have re-invented themes, shapes, patterns, colours, and deeply felt impressions and obsessions that manifest my personal vision. I rely on instinct, insight and intuition to stay true to my originality. BIOGRAPHY Donna Balma is an innovative and prolific Canadian artist currently living in the Pacific Northwest Rainforest of B.C., Canada and is a member of the West Coast Surrealist Group. Her work is profoundly affected by nature and her internal visions. She has established herself as an imaginative artist whose work has been variously described as fantasy, naïve, outsider, visionary, classical, folk, cosmic pop, and surreal amongst others. 3 EXHIBITION CV SOLO EXHIBITIONS 2016 Retrospective, Gibsons Public Art Gallery Gibsons, BC 2013 Artom Gallery Rome, Italy 2011 Seaside Centre Sechelt, B.C. 2011 Goldmoss Gallery Robert’s Creek BC 2002 Gift of the Eagle Gallery Gibsons, BC 2000 Beachcomber Gallery Gibsons, BC 1999 Sunshine Coast Arts Centre Sechelt, BC 1998 Gallery Gachet Vancouver, BC 1996 @ Studio Gallery Vancouver, BC 1995 Gumboot Garden Gallery Roberts, Creek, BC 1992 British Columbia Hall Salthouse, Norfolk, UK 1989 Sunshine Coast Arts Centre Sechelt, BC TWO & THREE PERSON EXHIBITIONS 2005 Nanaimo Art Gallery Nanaimo 2003 Sunshine Coast Arts Centre Sechelt, BC 1994 Newton Gallery Victoria, BC 1994 Quay Works Gallery Gibsons, BC 1992 Sunshine Coast Arts Centre Sechelt, BC 1988 Sunshine Coast Arts Centre Sechelt, BC GROUP EXHIBITIONS 2015 F.O.G.

Il luogo Spazio Thetis, Arsenale Novissimo, Venezia (Thetis SpA, Castello 2737/f - 30122 Venezia VE) Thetis non è solamente una società di ingegneria. Due sono gli elementi che ne determinano la peculiarità. Da una lato, una solida dimensione etica permea tutte le attività che la società svolge. Dall’altro, per alimentare la creatività Thetis ha sempre accolto nei suoi spazi i lavori di artisti contemporanei, con la convinzione che tra l’artista e il ricercatore vi sia una affinità di percorsi e la possibilità di influenze positive reciproche. Thetis, nell’ essere “in primis” un progetto finalizzato al recupero produttivo dell’Arsenale, doveva contenere già in sé le componenti necessarie per comprendere e per confrontarsi con l’arte e la storia. Doveva, nei fatti, avere un orizzonte più aperto, più ampio del solo spirito im- prenditoriale. Doveva, necessariamente, essere portatore di una nuova visione, di un modo nuovo di interpretare il concetto di impresa.
