Jasper
Alberta, Canada
I am donating this piece ‘Expanse’ to help raise funds for the Jasper fire relief efforts.
To raise as much funds as possible I have created an open fundraiser for the piece.
It is $20.00 per entry and each entry adds your name to the draw to win this piece which is worth $3500.00
Enter as many times as you like and multiple entries equal multiple chances to win the piece with 100% of proceeds going to Jasper.
​
THIS WILL RUN FOR 1 MONTH
The pics coming out of Jasper's scorched earth and townsite are so heartbreaking. Our Rocky Mnt neighbours to the north it’s hard to wrap our heads around the devastation. I have such amazing memories of Jasper from when we first visited 10/12yrs ago to most recently with my time spent with Mountain Galleries at their Jasper based Gallery in the stunning Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge where they were so welcoming and beyond generous, especially with their time.
​
The piece is a wall sculpture titled ‘Expanse’ and is directly inspired by the area being made with multiple ice casts from the ice melt phase of the Rocky Mnt lakes, it’s framed size is 25.6” H x 24.6” W and again 100% of proceeds, will go directly to Jasper.
ABOUT THE PIECE 'Expanse'
​​
Drawing upon ever-shrinking arctic glaciers and frozen lakes in Canada, Gallagher manipulates glass, steel, resin, and bronze to capture transient imagery. Her work blurs between representation and abstraction, as bottomless seas and crashing waves conflate with hardened, once-molten materials that draw attention to their own form. Gallagher invites the viewer to peer into the oceanic depths implied in her work, freezing elements of nature threatened by climate change.
‘Expanse’ is directly inspired by the Jasper National Park area, it’s framed size is 25.6” H x 24.6” W, it is a mixed median multi - lost wax cast wall sculpture and again, 100% of proceeds of this fundraiser go directly to Jasper.
Gallagher’s body of work also includes glass blown sculptures that contrastingly rise into the atmosphere, suspended like weightless bubbles slowly reaching equilibrium. In these largescale installations, the hidden depths of the ocean are replaced with transparent, ethereal forms exposed in their entirety. Her sculptures maintain a focus on the fleeting components of nature, emphasizing the fragility that comes from manmade intervention in the earth. She invites the viewer to slow down and marvel at a surreal stillness that often passes us by.
Alva Gallagher is a Canadian based sculptor whose installations have been featured in The National Museum of Ireland Collins Barracks, the ‘Gherkin’ building in London, the Arthur Cox building in Dublin, and the BMW Art Collection, among many others. She has been exhibited in Ireland, Canada, Japan, Germany, and France. She was recently awarded the Arts Council of Ireland Covid 19 Response Award, and has been announced as the winning artist for the Dublin Dockland Light Commission in Dublin’s core City Center.
