2020 Hindsight

A series of works created during the Covid19 Pandemic lockdowns spanning 2020 & 2021. These works were created for assignments for remote learning studio courses taken through the University of Manitoba’s School of Art faculty and delivered by Zoom: Drawing, Drawing II, Materials and Visual Language.

Mediums of drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, installation, collage and assemblage were all explored. The overall general theme I chose to focus on—whenever I could—was my home and the land on which it sits in Treaty 1 Territory. A large personal goal was to try my best to use materials I either had on hand, could reuse, repurpose or upcycle. I wasn’t always able to do it, but I think I managed to get quite ‘haywire & duct tape’ creative with materials I had on-hand. I explored themes of farming and hunting; hybridization, predator and prey; invasive and native; wild and domestic; Man Made and Mother Nature.

Below are some of the works created during this time.
