Darkness Between the Stars runs until July 19

The Darkness Between the Stars by Brandon Vickerd presents a life-size astronaut floating in space. Through the helmet’s visor, skeletal remains are visible.

The show is at the Elora Centre for the Arts Minarovich Gallery now until July 19.

This is not Vickerd’s first piece on this subject; Dead Astronaut (2008) is a 7.5-foot tall poplar carving, a monumental skeletal figure in a spacesuit.

This exhibition is on display from June 23 until July 31 in the Minarovich Gallery at the Elora Centre for the Arts.
