"Reconnection" exhibition at Wilfrid Laurier University, 2021
This two-person online exhibition shares work that centres around the urgent need for facing our deepest compounding human-made crises, including climate change, inequality and a global pandemic, through Reconnection. These intersections are explored in Earth Etching sculptures which honour the earth, poetry, and video stories. People emerge to share stories and catalyze action, while the voice of the earth grounds us in the reminder that we are inseparable, calling us home to action.
Earth Etchings are represented in the exhibit through photographs and in-depth video profiles. This exhibition was a collaboration with the artist's son, Kai, and can be found here: library.wlu.ca/services/reconnections
