this stone series was on exhibition @sunshinecoastarts The exhibition is titled Matters of Scale and features many works from both @jennifer.brant and myself. In this group of works I was focusing on human relationships with rock and stone, and movement through/across land - while working to trouble and unpack my own colonial-working-towards-de-colonial relationships with land and in particular; stone. This series was made with stones found on the sides of highways between my home in and the West Coast. These stones are dipped in bee's wax tinted with natural pigments (Earth Pigments from Maiwa). Massively warm thanks to all the good people at the Sunshine Coast Arts Center and my collaborator Jennifer Brant. #stones #rocks #canadian rockies #erraticlove #anthropoceneart #contemporaryart #conceptualart #collaborationart  #ecofeminist #ecofeministart #climateart #rockfrictionlove #rockart (at Sunshine Coast Arts Council) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZI2JnZrZ_R/?utm_medium=tumblr

🪨 now showing at the Sunshine Coast Arts Council 🪨 link in bio 🪨 This is a video still from the video I made for my current exhibition at the Sunshine Coast Arts Council. I spent a beautiful week earlier this month in Sechelt installing this collaborative exhibition titled Matters of Scale, with my colleague and friend @jennifer.brant at the @sunshinecoastarts gallery. For this group of works I focused on human relationships with rock and stone while working to trouble and unpack my own colonial-working-towards-de-colonial relationships with land and in particular for this exhibition; stone. In a strategy of relationship nurturing, I gathered stones from the sides of highways between the west coast and the prairies as I moved through this land so often to see and share time with kin. With these stones I made: large stone rubbings on silk in Revelstoke BC a sound scape with the stones rubbing together - massive thanks to @chadvangaalen for his support with recording and sound engineering stone impression drawings on recycled paper with clay, natural pigments and graphite stone portraits of the gathered stones painted directly on the walls of the gallery with clay and natural pigments stone sculptures with the gathered stones, bee's wax and natural pigments a series of drawings of the Burgess Shale critters- drawn to scale with clay, compost and graphite lastly this 5 minute video with an erratic from here in Treaty 7 land, Mohkinstsis Thank you for reading this 💛 #stones #rocks #canadian rockies #erraticlove #anthropoceneart #contemporaryart #conceptualart #collaborationart  #ecofeminist #ecofeministart #climateart #rockfrictionlove #rockart (at Sunshine Coast Arts Council) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVtOubqhnfS/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Exhibition is up! I spent a beautiful week in Seshelt installing an setting up this collaborative exhibition with @jennifer.brant in the @sunshinecoastarts gallery. The exhibition is titled Matters of Scale and features many works from both Jennifer and I. Over the next week or so I will be sharing some images from the exhibition. Focusing on human relationships with rock and stone (in this time when human activity on Earth is traceable in the stone) while working to trouble and unpack my own colonial-working-earnestly-towards-de-colonial relationships with land and in particular; stone, for this group of works I made large stone rubbings on silk, and a sound scape with stones rubbing together (massive thanks to @chadvangaalen for his support with recording and sound engineering). I also made some stone impression drawings, stone portraits, some stone sculptures (these comprising of stones who have generously agreed to come on this art adventure with me, I gathered the stones from the sides of highways between the west coast and the prairies as I move through this land so often to reach family and friends). Lastly, I also made a 5 minute video with an erratic from here in Treaty 7 land. Thanks to Jennifer Brant for friendship founded on kindness and collaboration founded on shared dedication to nurturing relationships with land. Thanks to the Sunshine Coast Arts Council for seeing the potential and value in mine and Jennifer's work and making space for us to share our work in your vibrant community and beautiful arts center. Thanks to family and friends for your commitment to kindness and care and your support to me and my arts. I'm so incredibly lucky to have such a community of love and wonder. #stones #rocks #canadian rockies #erraticlove #anthropoceneart #contemporaryart #conceptualart #collaborationart #ecofeminist #ecofeministart #climateart #rockfrictionlove #rockart (at Sunshine Coast Arts Council) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVef63nsG7A/?utm_medium=tumblr
