Sarah Hatton – Detachment

About the Exhibition

Visual Voice Gallery is delighted to present "Detachment," a series of large-format works by artist Sarah Hatton.
"Detachment" involves the use of thousands of historical brass fasteners taken from the original WWI files of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Library and Archives Canada has provided the artist with the brass from their mass digitization of 650,000 soldiers' files. Hatton used these 100 year old artifacts to create a series of large-scale star charts. These charts show how the stars would have appeared on the final day of several major battles of the First World War, based upon their respective dates and geographic location.

About the Artist

Sarah Hatton was born in the UK, and raised in Barbados and Canada.
She received her BFA from Queen’s University and her MFA from the University of Calgary, and is the recipient of numerous awards for art and academics.
Her deep interest in human nature, mortality, patterns, and her insatiable curiosity about the natural world are found throughout her paintings and installation work. Hatton lives and works in Chelsea, Quebec, one of Canada’s most creative and environmentally-friendly communities.
