RE:source RE:main RE:claim is an experiential installation that encapsulates artistic entanglement with ideas of materiality, intra-action and agency. Using natural materials harvested from ecosystems found in the pot-hole region of the prairies, as well as video documentation, and sound, I explore relations where humans are part of the entangled natural world. What might occur if we permit ourselves to consider artmaking as a tool that is finely tuned to attend to both the human and more-than-human/material entities at play? The works are gestures that emerged and took shape from intimate acts of witnessing, when the ambiguity of truth, causality, and purpose was allowed to breathe.
