August in the PNW… ✨
Floatplane ride up to the little island in BC where I’m from to spend quality time on the land. With family & a few dear friends. Ate so good out of my mom’s garden. She grows everything & it was all ripe & ready. Harvesting fresh food everyday in abundance. Picking & eating so many blackberries. Enough to make a batch of blackberry jam to bring home to kauai. Swimming, biking, boating & really relaxing. Did a few sweet family sessions & edited a big wedding gallery but other than that, chilled out. So grateful for the reset/ recharge. Hope your summer was nourishing & inspiring.

OPENING TOMORROW. Fingerprint Gallery is thrilled to announce “Borrowed Intimacy - a retrospective of heartbreak and other injuries” by Chelsea MacKay. Join us for the opening reception on Saturday May 16th from 6-9pm!  About the Exhibition:

Borrowed Intimacy: a retrospective of heartbreak and other injuries, is a solo exhibition that traces through past relationships, part autobiographical, part confessional. The work is a form of catharsis, moving through love, heartbreak, and damaged friendship. Across a series of paintings, a large sculptural installation, etched mirror, video, and smaller sculptures, the exhibition becomes an emotional archive.  Drawing on strategies reminiscent of Tracey Emin’s candid language and Martin Margiela’s deconstructive approach, the works treat process as both archive and excavation. Frames are scorched or painted white, simultaneously revealing, obscuring, and preserving what lies beneath, from a landscape to a 17th-century needlepoint. Acts of repair recur through materials like cloth, enamel, and metal straps, suggesting both damage and healing, while sewn hair extensions mark the end of a friendship. Hand beading and photo transfers add intimate, tactile layers to a large-scale installation cataloguing past relationships.  
These varied materials, objects, and techniques come together to retell a personal history. Creating a tension between concealment and exposure, damage and preservation, intimacy and distance, proposing love itself as something continually borrowed.

About the artist:

Chelsea MacKay (b. 1980, Hornby Island; lives & works in Vancouver) is an artist of Anishinaabe and Scottish descent. She holds a Bachelor of Design in Industrial Design from Emily Carr University, studied joinery at BCIT, and recently completed an MFA at Simon Fraser University. Her work is in sculptural installation, painting, and video.

Drawing on the aesthetics of the late 1990s and early 2000s alongside surrealism, Classical, Renaissance, Baroque, and religious iconography, her work functions as a vessel for memory and nostalgia, connecting intimate experience to broader cultural narratives through strategies of pastiche and satire.
