A new exhibition titled Elevate & Holon has opened at the Art Gallery of Regina, featuring abstract works by artists Regina-born Nikki Middlemiss and Moose Jaw-based Peter Tucker.

Middlemiss’s large-scale drawings from the Elevate series are collaborations with her materials, using vellum and liquid media. “The thin membranes of translucent paper buckle, pucker, dimple, and wrinkle in response to the application of diluted ink and oily pigments, while folding or sanding crisscross the surface with pale scars,” says a news release from the gallery.

Meanwhile, Tucker’s single, nine-foot tall sculpture Holon is a spiral comprised of dozens of oblongs of different varieties of wood. Holon means a group, such as a school of fish, that moves as a single entity. Inspired by a meeting with school children, Tucker used scraps of wood to imagine a diverse group moving as one.

The exhibit opened Friday and continues to May 1. Admission to the  gallery at 2420 Elphinstone St. is free.
