Georgian Bay Primordial – Harmony in Nature

Solo art installation and curated group exhibit by regional artist Sue A. Miller

Exhibiting at the Blue Mountain Foundation for the Arts, 163 Hurontario Street, Collingwood ON.

March 2^nd to April 14

Opening reception, Friday March 4^th, 4pm – 7pm

Sue A. Miller has been a practicing professional artist in the Georgian Triangle area for more than twenty years. She lives in Wasaga Beach and  has a large studio on the main street of Creemore above a coffee shop, the Mill Street Art Studio. In the past she has also shared studio space at the Fishbowl and Tremont Studios. Sue is best known for her atmospheric water/landscapes of Georgian Bay and Atlantic shorelines. This installation is a new project that has been percolating for three years and is relevant to the fragile biosphere of not only Georgian Bay but all shorelines and bodies of water. 

This project is an “immersive” installation exploring Georgian Bay undisturbed by humans, a habitat in its most pure form. The installation will consist of large scale oil paintings, a large three dimensional suspended sculpture, a large free standing sculpture and audio recordings of shoreline wildlife which will tie in the immersive experience for the audience. The subject matter explores unspoiled shorelines, in a variety of seasons and perspectives, without focus on “iconic” Georgian Bay scenes, but rather the “overlooked” uncommon view. The three dimensional work is created from natural detritus collected from around the Bay. The overall appearance and experience of this installation will reflect the “essence” and spirit of a primal Georgian Bay shoreline. 

To compliment the installation, I have curated a group show, including 16 professional artists whose work is new to Collingwood and relevant to the concept of the exhibition.
