Informed by a background in engineering, woodworking, and visual art, Trueman’s work includes video, sound, kinetic sculpture, and reclaimed natural materials, which work in concert to present a more-than-human perspective on forest life cycles. voices in a cool wet darkness transforms the gallery with monumental, resonant tree trunks, artworks that move and warble, and a recent video that offers an alternative vantage point on our shared landscape.

Grateful thanks to the City of Barrie’s Horticulture and Forestry Departments for their material contributions. This exhibition is complemented by an essay, “Poetics of transformation & decay,” written by Tyler Durbano. Exhibition documentation by Dennis Hristovski and Stevie Minacs.
