ARTIST TALK: Anne Macmillan

About the Artist and the Emerging Atlantic Artist Award and Residency:
Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity is pleased to announce a cross-country tour with Atlantic Canadian visual artist Anne Macmillan (Halifax, Nova Scotia), the inaugural recipient of the Emerging Atlantic Canada Artist Residency. Interested in how geographies relate to mental states and reflect modes of consciousness, Anne’s work is inspired by research into the historical perception of mountains and the depths of caves. During her self-directed, fully funded residency at Banff Centre, Anne created an animated video inspired by the geographical relationship of mountains and caverns in the Banff region called "This Place" (2016).
 
The Emerging Atlantic Canada Artist Residency is an initiative of The Hnatyshyn Foundation in collaboration with Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, and made possible through the generous support of the Harrison McCain Foundation. To learn more, visit banffcentre.ca
