town is small is pleased to present desire paths, a group exhibition featuring recent works by twelve epekwitk/pei-based artists
Desire Paths is an exhibition of twelve Island artists working in a range of mediums including printmaking, painting, film, drawing, and sculpture. It features recent artworks selected from an open call for submissions seeking original projects that are forward-thinking and incite conversation.
A desire path describes a walkway that emerges when people choose to deviate from constructed routes. Over time, their footfall carves new passageways into the landscape, inviting others to follow, forming well-trodden paths.
Whether exploring the first steps of a new process, cutting against the grain of convention, or observing the impacts of human activity, this exhibition considers how we navigate and shape the world around us.
