UK-based Canadian artist Kelly Richardson’s video work focuses on the resolution of the sublime from ordinary or flawed moments…uh…or in other words, images that are simultaneously magnificent and dreadful.

You could check this out if you go down to see REMIX Colour and Light at Albright Knox, which VoCA hears is excellent.
