Abstract

In Places Rarely Seen is an interdisciplinary exhibition bringing together print installation, video, photography, sound and text. This thesis exhibition considers my own shifting perception of what Nature is and how I relate to it. This shift is informed by my lived experiences as someone from a French settler background, exploring what it means to create ecologically focused art, temporal investigations, Indigenous ways of knowing Nature and land, as well as the similarities and differences between art and science. There are four sections: Poetry and Narrative; (Authentic) Experience; Temporality; and The Environmental Crisis. A self-authored poem bookends each section—as a trio the poems contextualize my experience of, with, and in Nature.
