Art lovers, don’t forget about the opening of the newest exhibition at Deer Lake Gallery next weekend.

The Burnaby Arts Council’s gallery is presenting Parallel, a group exhibition featuring mixed media work by Susan Jessop, Frankie Watt-Elphinstone and Kenneth Yuen. An opening reception is set for Saturday, Oct. 27 at noon, and the exhibition will run until Saturday, Dec. 15.

A press release notes that Jessop uses paper collage to weave together her experiences of the landscape, wildlife and culture of Canada with her memories of the U.K., exploring the meaning of “home.”

Watt-Elphinstone, meanwhile, explores our drive to expand into new worlds and the way in which we create “comforting and unspoken narratives” in reaction to cultural expectations.

Yuen uses sculpture and installation to explore the possible relationships between mind, body and object.

Want to check it out? Deer Lake Gallery is at 6584 Deer Lake Ave., and it’s open Tuesday to Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. See www.burnabyartscouncil.org or call 604-298-7322 for more.
