Art & Stewardship

I created this immersive outdoor workshop to evoke deep reflections on our connection with nature. Acts of stewardship were embeded into our multifaceted art-making session. Inspired by a 200-year-old technique of camera-less photography, participants crafted cyanotype prints inspired from their sensory experiences in nature.

The group was guided through the traditional UV exposure process, and then we collectively explored chosen subjects and their personal significance. Trust-building activities and community engagement were integral to the session, alongside education about environmental preservation and actionable steps to minimize our impact on the natural world.

The workshop was held in West Vancouver, BC, supported via the Ferry Building Gallery & Harmony Arts Festival, in August 2023.
