Don`t miss, Couzyn van Heuvelen | CAMP
Curated by Erin Szikora and Leila Timmins
Born in Iqaluit, Nunavut, but living predominantly in Southern Ontario, Couzyn van Heuvelen’s artistic practice explores Inuit cultural sovereignty and the tools and technologies of living on the land.
"Scraping Sealskin" is one of four works in a series of large-scale sealskin rugs. Here, the artist translates the tactile, rhythmic process of cleaning a sealskin into a monumental textile work that centers a vital part of Inuit cultural life.
Rendered entirely in wool, the image of the sealskin—midway through the scraping process—is depicted in careful detail, enlarged to an immersive scale, alongside an equally large ulu.
The associations with craft practices, often marginalized within fine art, is intentional. Van Heuvelen elevates craft not only as a method, but as a conceptual space to reflect on knowledge, labour, and care.
CAMP is on view at the Art Gallery of Peterborough until January 4, 2026.

“…This is the solstice, the still point
of the sun, its cusp and midnight,
the year’s threshold
and unlocking, where the past
lets go of and becomes the future;
the place of caught breath, the door
of a vanished house left ajar…”
― Margaret Atwood, Eating Fire: Selected Poetry 1965-1995
Happy Solstice! To mark the occasion, we`re sharing the work of Michael Robinson from the AGP #PermanentCollection.
While the winter solstice marks the shortest, darkest day of the year, it also marks the sun`s rebirth when the days begin to grow longer. It is a time to reflect on our achievements from the past year and prepare ourselves for a new beginning.
