Eric Walker: Railway Lands
Text: Aoife Mac Namara and Emily Falvey


 

This new publication accompanies Railway Lands, a travelling exhibition of work by Ottawa artist, Eric Walker. Walker meticulously assembles painted constructions from found objects, discarded building materials, paint, aluminum sheeting and thousands of box-nails. Bridging the gap between Nova Scotia conceptual art and vernacular forms from the Maritime region, his work embodies a complex mixture of modernist idioms, reverence for regional history and folklore, and a post-modern obsession with process. Published by the Ottawa Art Gallery, this bilingual, full-colour catalogue features essays by Aoife Mac Namara and Emily Falvey, and was brilliantly design by Lime Design Inc.
