Chantelle Cook’s Home Crisis is a series of oil paintings exploring the fragile concept of “home” in a context in which housing is marked by rapid change and instability. Drawn from photographic documentation of houses in Vancouver, these works depict sites of shifting memories, emotional connection, and a precarious sense of belonging.

Artist Statement
Amongst the German Early Romantic poet-philosophers, the writings of Johann Christian Friedrich Hölderlin (1770–1843) have compelled and inspired me most over the past 25 years. Throughout his work, he focused on merging the Subjekt with the Objekt into a oneness, trying to eliminate the Zwist (separation) and unite the paradoxical concepts of concreteness and abstraction. He was a master of metaphorical language, putting pressure on the lexical and syntactical capacities of words, to the point of breaking traditional rules, gesturing toward what he referred to as a sprachlose Sprache, a speechless or unspeakable language. In dialogue with Hölderlin, this exhibition features a selection of works from three series made over the past 25 years.
