SUMMARY:"Vessels for Spheres" by Rob Toller
DESCRIPTION:THE ART OF HONOURING THE BEAUTY OF NATURE\n“Vessels for Spheres” \nUsing found objects\, mostly natural forms discovered during his wanderings\, Kimberley-based sculptor extraordinaire Rob Toller has created a collection of small sculptures that honour the exquisite beauty of nature. Rob is excited to announce his upcoming solo art exhibit “Vessels for Spheres”\, open to inspire visitors at Art Gallery Kimberley in BC’s Best Small Town from April 4-14\, 2014. \nThrough his intentional wanderings in the natural world\, Rob draws inspiration from the fascinating surfaces and lines provided by nature. His approach to working with found objects is focused on honouring and highlighting their intrinsic beauty\, with little alteration or imposition. Rob explains\, “I’m drawn to raw\, organic textures and surfaces\, and I’m a big fan of rust. I often incorporate natural elements like wood and stone into my metal sculptures. The balance and rhythm of natural forms guide my art\, allowing the materials to speak for themselves.“ Ultimately\, Rob’s artworks serve as a showcase of the beauty of the natural world as its own sculpture gallery\, filled with endless inspiration. \nRob’s creative journey began in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies where\, according to Rob\, “Regular explorations of the front ranges in all seasons led to the discovery of spectacular root structures\, weathered by years in the elements – chinook winds\, fire and weather extremes.” Recognising the necessity to elevate these natural sculptures with complementary bases so they can be presented and fully appreciated\, Rob took up welding and blacksmithing\, attracted by metal’s strength and contrasting properties. As a self-taught artist fuelled by curiosity\, Rob increasingly gravitated towards working with metal and became intrigued by the possibilities of this medium. Amassing an eclectic collection of found metal objects\, he creates one-of-a-kind figurative sculptures while preserving the natural patina of these objects as a historical record of their life. “The long history of mining and forestry in The Kootenays provides for a wide variety of materials to be gathered; industrial salvage scattered in many unexpected places\, hidden and sometimes buried treasures”\, Rob reflects. \nRob’s biggest challenge often lies in safely harvesting and transporting these pieces back to his studio. You may happen upon him in the early morning hours\, walking remote trails while lugging unwieldy pieces of wood\, steel or stone. The discovery of new materials and shapes serves as a catalyst for his creative exploration. Rob is drawn to adventure both in the natural world and the realm of creativity\, always wondering “What if I …?” \nWithin this exhibit\, Rob joins together his enjoyment in the creative process with his love for nature. By incorporating spherical shapes\, such as stones and steel balls\, Rob introduces contrast\, while alluding to the start of spring and new life. His return to using pewter adds a dynamic element\, creating unique forms with each casting. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to surround yourself with the beauty of Rob’s sculptures — a heartfelt celebration of the natural world and the creative process. Please join us at Art Gallery Kimberley from April 4-14\, 2024. Rob’s exhibit welcomes visitors from Thursday to Sunday\, 9:30 until 4:30 and from Monday to Wednesday by appointment. Everyone is invited to the closing reception and artist talk on Sunday\, April 14\, 2024 from 3 to 5 pm.

SUMMARY:Evaluating Lenses for Cinematography Workshop
DESCRIPTION: 2024 Momentum Masterclass Workshop Series \n Evaluating Lenses for Cinematography\nwith Corby Martin (Salmo Cine)\nCOST:\n$30 General\n$25 for KSBI Members\n$20 for Students\nEmail lynn@kootenayfilm.com to sign up\nWHEN: Friday April 12\, 2024\, 1pm – 4pm PST\nWHERE: The Shoebox Theatre\n225 Hall St\, Nelson\, BC V1L 5X4\n.\n.\n.\nWHAT YOU’LL LEARN:\nIn this workshop we will be looking at the vast landscape of lenses available to the modern Cinematographer. We will learn to evaluate lenses to determine which are appropriate for each project\, from choosing lenses for their aesthetic look to rejecting lenses for their practical deficiencies. We will discuss true cinema lenses vs still photography lenses\, modern vs vintage\, primes vs zooms. And we will look at a selection of lenses on camera on the big screen to see firsthand the differences between them.\n.\n.\n.\nABOUT CORBY:\nCorby Martin is the owner and optical specialist at Salmo Cine. He has a passion for cinema lenses and loves to bring an artists vision to the screen through optics.\nCorby started his career as a filmmaker shooting snowboard videos\, he quickly moved on to lensing broadcast TV shows and music videos. He has been the director of photography on dozens of commercials\, and several short films and documentaries. Corby’s career transitioned to working on the lenses rather than with them as a lens technician.\nOver the years he has had the honor of speaking on panel discussions and as a brand presenter at industry trade shows N.A.B. and CineGear. He has personally serviced lenses for TV shows such as Riverdale\, Bates Motel and Super Girl and feature films Warcraft and Deathnote. The accomplishment Corby is most proud of is designing and building the Ethereal and Effigy lens systems for Sim International\, which have been used on the CW series Nancy Drew and the NatGeo series Valley of the Boom respectively.\nWhen not dreaming up new lens designs Corby is an avid snowboarder and spends many hours running And hiking in the mountains.\nhttps://salmocine.ca\nLenses sponsored by Lorne Lapham\nhttps://www.llsr.com
