Gibson Fine Art: Contemporary Canadian Art in Calgary

Joanna Johnston
where we surrender

  • Where We Surrender · Sept 13 - Oct 4

    Gibson Fine Art is thrilled to welcome photographer Joanna Johnston to the gallery. Distilling her architect’s eye and intuitive vision, she creates luminous in-camera double exposures that blur the line between structure and sensation. Her newest series, Where We Surrender, invites us into a meditative world where memory, place, and emotion intertwine.
