You discover that this galaxy is home to many alien species, who have lost contact with each other after their Telegems were scattered. Now it’s your job to collect the Telegems andrestore communication throughout the galaxy.Buckle up for an amazing summer of reading and adventure with SAPL's Children's Summer Reading Game!

TREX artist spotlight: Briana Tosswill @penrosepress.ca

Brianna Tosswill is a printmaker and mixed media artist creating from a deeply analog sensibility. Her art is driven by conversation and social interaction. A selection of prints from her series, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵, was featured alongside work from Gillian Willans and Melissa Baron in the TREX exhibition, 𝘙𝘰𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘙𝘦𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵. Brianna also has an exhibition of new work opening at @dhartworld in Edmonton on Saturday, May 23!

"𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵 is a creation rooted in conversation, rendered in linocut printmaking, and designed to inspire comfort-seeking. From 2021-2023, I interviewed people about comfort, and used these dialogues to inspire imaginary rooms in my artwork. Each room houses one or two protagonists, occasionally accompanied by their loved ones or pets.... Even though I designed each space with its inhabitant specifically in mind, I like to imagine them visiting each other, taking solace in different kinds of comfort, just like you can by looking at this artwork."
