In Emma Beyond Myth, a lively exchange between Laura St. Pierre and painter Nancy Lowry, the two artists revisit their time at the storied Emma Lake workshops. Trading hot takes with vibrant chemistry, they reflect on how those experiences have resurfaced as of late in Nancy’s recent exhibition Colour In Place at Remai Modern.
