At the very end of this summer, I had the pleasure of joining a group of artists and scientists for the Biophilia residency through the Ayatana Program, lead by Ayatana Director Alexis Williams. I loved the chance to see Nova Scotia again, this time up close and personally with nature!
I found some pirate ship remnants on nearby shorelines.
We were a diverse group of artists from Montreal, Winnipeg, Ottawa, and
Oregon USA, and worked with a marine biologist, an academic ecologist,
and geological expert and more.
At the conclusion of the residency, each artist created an artist book inspired by their experiences. Mine is a photographic clock that captures fleeting objects - each only existing itself for a very short time-frame, representing each day I spent in Nova Scotia.
