Hornby Island is a northern Gulf Island, which sits within an
archipelago, near Vancouver Island on the West Coast of British
Columbia, Canada. Less than 12 square miles in size, its unique
landscape shelters a population centred on simple life-styles,
self-reliance and art. Seeming to sit slightly out of time, its
counter cultural atmosphere was somewhat shaped by the shared
visions of its settlers during 1960s and 1970s. Despite challenges,
these values remain compelling - as our contemporary economic
crisis sits within an ecological disaster. Hornby's characteristic
vernacular buildings still embody the wish to turn against rampant
consumerism, pollution and political horror - towards handmade
houses; food; clothing and contentment. Land Ends was made during
Melissa Moore's various self-styled long-term residencies on the
island - exploring her own "feedback between art and nature". An
enchantment by a particular landscape and its mythology is palpable
in this sequence of distinctive works. Through a performative
practice Moore puts herself in the fundament of the ecologies she
finds - nestling into both the island and its communal dreams.
Melissa Moore is a London based artist. She studied at the
Manchester Metropolitan University then at the Royal College of
Art, and is an Associate Lecturer at the University of the Arts
London. She has exhibited and published internationally. This new
series has so far been shown in Singapore, Italy, Japan and
Germany.
