DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p>Amulet <br />Kiarra Albina<br />Discovery Gallery<br /><br />Sponsored by Sandy Baker, RE/MAX Check Realty<br /><br />An amulet is an object whose most important characteristic is the power ascribed to it to protect its owner from danger or harm.<br /><br />Amulet is a new suite of works on paper by Kiarra Albina created in night, in cautionary origins of magical fairy tales, in shape shifting, in ceremonial transformation, in the charged amulet, in soft musings, in portraiture, in behind the darkness so that even we cannot see. &nbsp;<br /><br />Red powder was taken out of one of the bottles, and with it was touched the crown, ear, elbows, knees, and feet of the applicant; a black powder then followed, and with it were anointed the shoulder, crown, knees, hair, feet, and head.<br /><br />Calgary-born artist, Kiarra Albina, works within and between the disciplines of drawing, painting, traditional animation, bookmaking, installation, and sound. Both a solitary and collaborating culture worker, she reintroduces nature, magic, and notions of wildness and unbridled play through her work. In 2010 she participated as a NFB/ONF Hothouse Director. Her drawings and book works have been exhibited and her films screened in galleries, artist-run centres, theatres, and non-ordinary spaces throughout Western Canada, London, Ontario, Montr&eacute;al and Vienna. Her work has also been exhibited through: EMMedia, Arbour Lake School, Straw Gallery, Stride Gallery and recently at Contemporary Calgary, curated by Kim Dorland.</p>
