At the Edge of Place is an online exhibition by Irish contemporary artist Anthony Carey, inspired by time spent in Alberta and the Canadian Rockies.

The paintings explore winter light, snow, mountain scale and the emotional memory of place. Rather than presenting literal views of Canada, the exhibition reflects on the feeling of standing within vast landscapes shaped by weather, distance and stillness.

The online exhibition includes a virtual gallery, exhibition catalogue and artist talk.
