Free Range Trials is a lab for artistic process and creative testing through the exhibition of work by two contemporary artists – Kathy McTavish and Cecilia Ramon. In farming terms, field trials are an opportunity to determine effectiveness of experimental techniques. In the arts, experiments are usually only visible in the artist studio. Free Range Trials explores the cross section of culture, land and agriculture.
Cecilia Ramon’s drawings, projection and earthwork, focus on ocean currents, water movements and aquatic organisms. Oceangrass, an earthworks installation piece, is a walk to experience the planetary path of the Thermohaline Ocean Global Current.
