The “windfall light” evoked by Dylan Thomas in his poem Fern Hill conjures the dappled golds and luminous greens, deepening warmth, and undulating fields of a landscape suspended in time. Like the poem, this exhibition does not describe summer directly so much as linger within its thresholds: in lengthening shadows, burgeoning birds and blossoms, and the acute awareness of a season always already beginning to recede.
Windfall Light draws together the work of contemporary artists and artworks from the Art Gallery of Guelph’s collections, bringing into dialogue works by Monica Tap, Kim Dorland, Susan Dobson, Don Russell, Takao Tanabe, Gordon Couling, Ruth Qaulluaryuk, Kathleen Daly, George Pepper, J. E. H. MacDonald, A. J. Casson, William Goodridge Roberts, and Clarence Gagnon, among others. Together, they situate time and transformation as relational and continuous—“the sun born over and over”—where abundance and loss are held in delicate balance.
