We’re excited to welcome We See Stars Only At Night, a new exhibition by Yukon artist Cole Pauls, to the ODD Gallery, located in Dawson City.

This immersive installation brings Pauls’ latest graphic novel into the gallery space in its entirety—featuring 80 pages of original, hand-drawn comics displayed across the walls. The work expands beyond the page, with layered collage elements, zip-a-tone textures, and repeating shapes transforming the gallery into a dreamlike environment you can move through.

Created intuitively without a set script, We See Stars Only At Night unfolds as a surrealist exploration of Tahltan culture, storytelling, and connection to land. The imagery moves between the personal and the collective, weaving together animals, regalia, harvesting practices, and cultural knowledge.

By presenting the graphic novel as both book and installation, Pauls invites visitors to experience the story uniquely—encountering each page as part of a larger, living composition.

Come spend some time with this powerful and imaginative work.
