Field Notes: Observations on Wonder
Natalie Vanderzand’s Field Notes: Observations on Wonder is on at Deep Water Gallery from October 17th through November 21st.
Part field guide, part invitation to pay attention, the exhibition finds significance in the details we often pass without noticing. Working across beadwork, wood, found materials, drawing and painting, Vanderzand traces the textures, colours and small lives that shape gardens, forests and shorelines—both remembered and imagined. The result is a colourful reminder that wonder is rarely far away; sometimes we simply need to slow down long enough to notice it.
The Gallery will close the week of November 22nd, reopening November 28th for the Smalls Show.

Natalie Vanderzand
October 17 - November 21
Natalie Vanderzand is a multidisciplinary artist based on the Saugeen/Bruce Peninsula in Ontario, Canada. She has her BFA from NSCAD University with her current practice mainly centering around contemporary jewellery/object and beadwork. Her work explores ideas of place and home through close observation of the natural world. Drawing inspiration from flora and fauna, waterways and forests, gardens and flowers blooming, Natalie creates pieces that reflect lived landscapes and personal connections to the environments we inhabit. Through intricate material processes and an attention to colour and form, her work considers how memory, land, and belonging become intertwined.
