Long residency recipient - September 9 to 29, 2021 - Laara Cerman
Laara Cerman’s work explores the intersection of art, science, and history through investigating patches of wildness that survive within suburban and urban landscapes. With an ongoing practice of collecting wild plant specimens, Laara is creating a digital herbarium documenting the life cycle of plants while learning about different aspects and uses of flora growing in Canada’s most biodiverse province. Through learning about the role of plants in the ecosystem and the gifts they offer us, Laara has become more conscious of the mutual connections of life and the importance of reciprocity between humans and the Earth. Her 3-week residency will begin in the fall 2021.
