Artwork Summary

This collection of Telidon works by Glenn Howarth is drawn from materials donated to the University of Victoria Libraries Special Collections and University Archives in 2012. In addition to sketchbooks, diaries, and correspondence, the acquisition included 5.25 and 8-inch floppy disks containing Howarth’s Telidon artworks. As Head of Library Systems at UVic, John Durno fastidiously restored these proto-digital works, a selection of which are on view in this exhibition. Together this assortment displays visual references that are common in Howarth’s oeuvre, including landscapes inspired by the forests of British Columbia, vacation backdrops, and portraiture. Much of this imagery is undergirded by a darkness that is unique to Howarth’s practice.
