The Work!

I had some requests to share images of the work! Here they are!

All the work below is available for purchase, if by chance you were interested in having some maritime-themed art in your life. Please contact Harvest Gallery with questions. Some of the work was created in 2020, for a different iteration of this project, that was…

MACROMAREAL at HARVEST GALLERY

The official countdown has begun! In just 10 days, I will be opening at new iteration of the print-based work from MACROMAREAL at Harvest Gallery in Wolfville NS! It has been a lovely thing to go back into this project and look at it with fresh eyes. I’ve known for a while I wasn’t done with this body of work (and all the questions it brings to mind). And, since I’ve been living in walking…

SNAPline Article ... out, in the wild!

Extremely chuffed to say that an article I wrote doe SNAPline has been published. The theme of this issue was ‘family’ – a complicated and multivalent thing, to be sure. What really excited me about doing this writing was being able to highlight the excellent work of fellow artist and Memorial University Alum Sally Wolchyn-Raab. Sally’s work is thoughtful, vulnerable, insightful. And this…

layer test 1 from Sydney Lancaster on Vimeo.

A test clip for some new work under development. Thinking through ideas about the ways different types of understanding intersect, and the assumptions that underlie various ways of relating to the environment we depend on for our survival.

These Days, Upon Us ALL.

Couple of articles here too, with thanks to the Globe and Mail for highlighting these voices: https://globe2go.pressreader.com/article/281728389147735 https://globe2go.pressreader.com/article/281784223720196 I find myself considering the parallels between erasures – especially of late, given the recent ‘scandal’ to rock Parliament. The tried and true argument that “we didn’t know” that runs…
