Time, an acrylic painting by Janna Kumi that’s in her solo show, which opens Jan. 23 in Port Coquitlam, got its name by depicting the tree’s annual rings.
Her exhibit, Time and Process, uncovers growth and decay — as well as patterns and textures — of tree bark and wood, using colour pencils and ink as the mediums.
A 2019 recipient of a Canada Council for the Arts grant and a Federation of Canadian Artists member, Kumi studied physical geography at Concordia University and forestry at UBC and the University of Munich.
She also earned her bachelor of fine arts degree from UBC and a fine arts certificate from Emily Carr University of Art + Design.
Time and Process is Kumi’s second solo display; the opening reception is at Leigh Square (next to PoCo city hall) from 6 to 8 p.m. Jan. 23.
