Abundance Return by Carina Phillips, 2024

Lunaria Annua seed pods

The Fitzroy St. Tiny Art Gallery and Curator Monica Lacey are pleased to partner with The Guild in a new tiny art gallery space in the front window of The Guild at 111 Queen Street in Charlottetown.

The North Nook Gallery will present an exhibit of new work by Carina Phillips, entitled Abundance Return, on view for the month of February 2025.

About the exhibit:

The artist was gifted from a friend the beautiful plant, Lunaria, and has created a gift for viewers with an installation of shining seed remnants from this plant, also known as Honesty Plant, Money Plant and Silver Dollar. A globe shape reminiscent of the Moon or a planet - one that she dreams would someday wholly value the indigenous philosophy of the gift economy, and understand that the abundance of nature is to be shared.

About the artist:

Carina Phillips is a Farmer, Interdisciplinary Artist and Florist from the Byrnes Rd, Morell, P.E.I. She also works with fibers such as dried flowers, embroidery and natural dyeing. Her relationships in nature have been her largest areas of research. Community based projects also interest her and the process of creating beautiful things that reflect seasons or times in life that are impermanent and beautifully fleeting. She can be found online at @floweringshrubbb and at sweetpeafarm.ca.

About the Gallery:

The North Nook Gallery is a partnership between The Fitzroy St. Tiny Art Gallery and The Guild. The space was established in December 2024 and hopes to present new work by local professional artists on an ongoing basis. The February exhibit is made possible by the generous support of GoldNET Smart Technologies.
