Vancouver–based artist Marian Penner Bancroft has been exhibiting her work in North America and Europe for more than thirty years and is the winner of the Audain Foundation Award in 2012.
By Land and Sea (Prospect and Refuge) investigates a family history and relationship to landscape out of a narrative of forced migration and relocation. Using text, maps, colour photographs, evocative words, and portraits of ancestors, the artist charts the journeys of her father’s Mennonite family from what is now Ukraine and her mother’s Presbyterian family from northern Scotland.
