Over the past two months, Anna has been in residence at KOAC, using the studio to explore sculptural interpretations of architectural arches. Her work considers the symbolic and structural roles of arches—as thresholds, as connectors, and as conduits for meaning.

“Arches, as architectural elements, are historically seen in windows, doors, tunnels, bridges—entrances and exits. They both connect and distinguish space, allowing one to cross over or pass through. Structurally, the arch seems to follow both logic and intuition, and my work aims to consider this overlap.” – Anna Semenoff

During the artist talk, Anna will speak about the concepts informing her practice, including:

• the influence of modern architecture on perception,
• the tensions between technological advancement and intuitive understanding,
• and how evolving structures shape our relationship to reality and meaning.

She reflects on how the lightness and clarity of modern architecture—often conveyed through glass—is structurally supported by hidden forces like reinforced concrete. This duality prompts broader questions.

Anna writes, "In my work, I consider ways in which technological evolutions enhance, and diminish our relationship with the world. Is it possible that the appearance of reality no longer lines up with an intuitive understanding of it? With a general and cultural assumption that anything is technologically possible, where does meaning come from?"

Join us for an afternoon of thoughtful conversation and a chance to view Anna's sculptural works in person.

At the Da Camera Singers upcoming concert on Sunday, May 4, 3 pm at First Presbyterian Church (10025 105 St NW, Edmonton), we are very excited to perform a larger work by our own artistic director, Laura Hawley, titled In Song, in this concert inspired by our fair city of Edmonton! With music about rivers, storms, the northern lights, choirs (Did you know there are hundreds of choirs in Alberta? More adult choristers than adult hockey players?), being COLD…and more, this unique program is sure to leave you feeling inspired and connected! We’re looking forward to performing with guests Clayton Leung (viola), Dan Sutherland (clarinet), and Brian Thurgood (vibraphone).

“This program creates a lush and verdant soundscape of our city and region,” says chorister Erin iampen. “As I hear these songs, I see the power and constancy of our river valley, the faithful green of the diverse selection trees in our neighbourhoods, the explosion of grasses and flowers seemingly overnight in late spring, and the piercing glare of a wide Alberta sky.  This concert will be a perfect ushering-in for the coming season.”

This program will include many Turtle Island composers: laura hawley, Sherryl Sewepagaham, Sarah Quartel, Garrett Krause, Kathleen Allen, Hussein Janmohamed, and Marjan Mozetich.

We are very excited to also host a silent auction of “Made in Edmonton” items from artists, local businesses and local restaurants.
