The exhibit, called “Glass Art Daydream”, will feature works such as “Plight of the Salmon”, which incorporates driftwood, as well as coloured glass, and aims to raise awareness of environmental issues, Edwardian cases with images of flowers, and even totem poles. Much of the work is inspired by Hildebrandt’s Nak’azdli First Nation heritage.
The artist has explained that this difficult creative endeavour began as a hobby less than a decade ago:
“In 2014 I took a beginner’s class. I always wanted to do it and thought well, I might as well go for it now that I’m retired, and I’ve got lots of time now to do stuff like that. I’ve been doing it ever since.”
“Glass Art Daydream” will be unveiled with an official artist’s reception, in which Hildebrandt will answer questions about the work. Most of the pieces on display are available for sale. Exhibits such as this often help to highlight many different types of artistic Forms, from sculpture to graphic designs. The display will be hosted at the Moose Jaw Cultural Centre, which also serves as an event venue that regularly hosts plays, movies, and other artistic occasions.
“Glass Art Daydream” will be on display at the Moose Jaw Cultural Centre beginning on January 17, with the reception happening on the afternoon of January 20.
