| Summary: | The current ecological state of the world is a source of great anxiety what seems to be missing is a sense of kinship, of how fundamentally interconnected human lives and the life of the planet are. I work across mediums to explore and elicit a sense that the boundary between the human and non-human is permeable, that it is not as locatable as it is often thought to be, that we are bound in a web of relations. This work is situated within the context of finding myself displaced in Toronto and working to methodically attune myself to this environment. As I slowly and meticulously engage with drawings, pressed flowers, sculpture, and other creative processes, I am learning the details of this place and the life here. I cultivate an intimacy and sensitivity to the environment around me through imbedded ecological sensibilities, shared stories, and relayed connections.
