Rooting for You | 응원해

Rooting for You | 응원해 is an exhibition built around words we carry, and words we need to hear. Using hand-torn Hanji and Korean letters, each work creates a moment of recognition, inviting viewers to feel seen, valued, and connected. This is a space to slow down, look closely, and allow meaning to unfold.

Eunju Park

Eunju Park is a self-taught Hanji artist based in St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, born in Ulsan, South Korea. Working with Hanji, traditional Korean paper made from mulberry bark, she tears and reconstructs Hangul (the Korean alphabet) into abstract forms carrying affirmations such as You Matter and Radical Acceptance. Park began her practice later in life while navigating grief and healing, and Hanji’s resilience has become central to her work. Her practice spans exhibitions, workshops, murals, and public art, bringing Korean language and positive affirmation into shared spaces.

Displaced in Time

Artist
Bailey Horton

June 4 - July 24

First Fridays
Gallery is open until 5 p.m. on Fridays.

Exhibit

Displaced in Time is an exploration of learning to love a new city. Through this collection of landscape and domestic drawings, Bailey Horton reflects on her changing identity and sense of place she has recorded since settling in Red Deer in 2022 after living in BC for 16 years. The drawing “Transition of Memories” is both an exit and an entry into the works. In this piece, both her old and new house blend into one place: home. In connecting with Red Deer, Bailey fostered her arts practice. Her landscapes, portraits, and domestic drawings illustrate a growing familiarity of place, and by extension, self. Through landscapes of Bower Woods, Barrett Park, and Waskasoo; her love of learning local trails is recorded in charcoal. Portraits from throughout the last few years explore a changing understanding of self as she settles into the city. They are her meditations on moving, settling in, and mapping her new home as she navigates both in and out of her domestic spaces. This exhibition mediates on the careful, caring attention the artist dedicates to recording themselves, and their surroundings as they move through life. For her, drawing offers a sense of reflection on her journey to Red Deer. A landscape of a community she has become a part of, alongside you.

About the Artist

Bailey Horton is a multidisciplinary artist with an interest in exploring how art can foster community connections, both personally and geographically. Through vulnerability in her own arts practice, she seeks to connect to our collective experiences of person-hood. She is currently located in Red Deer, AB; and works with the Red Deer Arts Council.

Bailey’s artistic practice ebbs between curatorial, educational, and personal practice. Her medium is often informed by her research, but primarily draws. She is obsessed with slow, meditative processes. Slowly layered hatching, stitching, and careful accuracy are often found in her work. Bailey is fascinated by the relationship between community, place, and mapping memory. Her memory is grounded in mapped trails and hallways, and in the ever changing localities of where one calls home.
