What Was Here

Sera Senakovicz

May 6 – 29, 2014

Emerging Halifax based printmaker, Sera Senakovicz exhibits a series of silkscreens revealing people’s relationships with historic buildings, on view in the corridor gallery May 6 – 29. Senakovicz describes her process and the work found in the exhibition:

In the fall of 2013 I attended a residency at Spark Box Studio in Prince Edward County, Ontario. I went searching for stories of the relationships people in the county have with their spaces and more specifically their historic buildings. I found many passionate people who love their natural and built landscape willing to share. These prints are inspired by these stories and experiences.

Sera Senakovicz is a printmaker born in Ontario, raised in British Columbia and currently settled in Nova Scotia. She completed her BFA at NSCAD in 2009 and is a current mentee in the VANS mentorship program. She has a passion for old buildings and can often be seen gleaning old wood and refuse from demolition sites. Sera gratefully acknowledges the support of ARTS Nova Scotia for assistance in funding her residency.

Located inside the Visual Arts Nova Scotia (VANS) office at the Halifax Seaport, since 2000, the Corridor Gallery is complimented by a historical legacy of Nova Scotia culture, simple yet modern architectural elements and an array of current cultural activity in the Cultural Federations of Nova Scotia office. The Corridor Gallery is located at 1113 Marginal Road, Halifax, Nova Scotia and is open Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm.
