19 September 2025 6–8:00 pm, Rideau Building, 207 Stuart St
 You’re invited to the opening reception of The Clearing happening next week at Agnes’s off-site location on campus (Rideau Building, 207 Stuart)
Kingston artists Marney McDiarmid and Clelia Scala reimagine a shipping container to transport viewers from an object of global commodity to an organic ecosystem that values introspection and connection. Inspiration for the project derives from the sit spot, a mindfulness practice of sitting in nature and observing the world around you. Using clay, paper and mixed materials, McDiarmid and Scala have created work based on their engagement with nature. Viewers are invited to participate in an act of regeneration by bringing personal documents to the exhibit, shredding them and adding them to the artists’ landscape.
The installation features a poem by Sadiqa de Meijer, a soundscape by Matt Rogalsky and a mural by Lee Stewart. The Clearing is curated by Sunny Kerr.
Bring your personal paper objects to add to the magic and join us on 19 September for refreshments and a chance to chat with the artists 1:1.
This event is free and no registration is required.
