Garlic is Key speaks to the kitchen as a keeper of memory and culture. Layers of handwritten script and torn text suggest recipes whispered, stories shared, and traditions carried forward. From this textured ground, garlic bulbs emerge earthy, golden, essential. More than an ingredient, they embody the scent of simmering meals, the warmth of gatherings, the taste of heritage that lingers long after the table is cleared. Garlic becomes a symbol of what nourishes us: body, history, and connection.

Silvina Lanusse
Parksville, British Columbia
Silvina Lanusse is a contemporary landscape artist based on Vancouver Island, known for her expressive use of monoprint and collage techniques to interpret the natural world in fresh, unexpected ways. Blending bold color, layered textures, and fragments of found materials, she reimagines landscapes as emotional spaces rather than fixed locations.
"Each piece begins as a whisper of land or sky and unfolds into a layered memory. Through collage and monoprint, I try to catch the poetry of a place just beyond reach."
