Where the Land Cradles Me is a series of mixed-media paintings, with each work carrying more than a single story; many stories, many voices, many landscapes, many truths interwoven.
The surfaces hold tension and harmony, permanence beside change, silence beside song, and memory beside dream. Yet these contrasts remind us of what is at stake. The land that cradles us is under threat, and climate justice is not optional; it is essential.
This series asks viewers to consider how place is never one story but a gathering of countless narratives, layered across time, culture, and imagination. It calls on viewers to recognize our shared responsibilities to protect the places that shape us. The land is more than a backdrop; it is a lifeline. It is about how the land cradles us all, differently and together, shaping the stories we live and pass on. To honour it means to act, to defend its stories, its balance and its future.

Rita Sirignano and Peter Moller are friends and colleagues.
One particular day, Peter told Rita he was inspired to try some abstract colour painting after having seen some of her works.
After Rita saw his experiments, they decided that it would be fun to have a co-exhibition presenting recent works, older pieces, collaborations and site specific creations at cSpace’s Level 1 Hallway Gallery. An exhibition was born.

EXHIBITION: Great Treasures of Gold
2025-11-07 - 2025-11-27
Great Treasures of Gold: A Canadian Latter-day Saint Religious Art Exhibition
cSPACE Marda Loop
Level 3 & 4
November 7 – November 27, 2025
8:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Closed Sundays)
Opening Reception: November 6 | 6:30-9:00pm
This exhibition celebrates the rich tradition of Latter-day Saint art in Canada, featuring nearly 100 original works by both living and deceased Canadian artists. The showcase highlights the diverse expressions of faith and creativity that have emerged within the community.
The title, “Great Treasures of Gold,” is inspired by a conversation between early pioneer Charles Card and Samuel Smith, the brother of Joseph Smith, Jr. Smith recalled a prophecy made in an 1843 priesthood meeting within the Nauvoo Temple, in which it was stated that “[Canada] would never persecute the Saints as a nation. She would gather up great treasures of gold and yet we should seek refuge in her dominion.”
The phrase “Great Treasures of Gold” symbolizes not only the material wealth Canada was prophesied to gather, but also the spiritual and cultural richness accumulated over more than a century of Latter-day Saint presence in the country. This exhibition pays tribute to the enduring artistic legacy that has flourished within this land of refuge.
