Covid-19 has changed all our lives. I am thankful that I have remained well, but long to return to normal activities like visiting with friends and family, and travelling for art and pleasure.
While self-isolating in Port Hope I have been working in my studio daily. In 2020 I produced Other Echoes, a collection of works on paper examining home and memory.
Early in 2021 I completed the Canadian part of The Tangled Garden a large, long-term garden wall project. Hopefully in the future I will have the opportunity to travel and develop the imagined two remaining walls.
My annual summer canoe trip with the other artists of the Gibson Girls, was cancelled and our exhibition in Vilnius, Lithuania was postponed until 2022. The mail art exchange project we were to exhibit, Where I'm at Now: A Conversation in Art has continued and provided some solace and connection. Go to our newly launched website gibsongirlsart.com to see the growing collection of collaborative postcards created by the group. Follow our activities and the project on instagram @5gibsongirls.

Botanica
Botanica is a collection of unique images on handmade Japanese Mura Hoban paper printed using the pre-photographic method of nature printing. Seen as part of a larger historic herbarium, ancillary information from these fragile imprints are illuminated and preserved in wax in arcane ‘books of study’ in the accompanying Folio Botanica. The images reference familiar tropical trees identified near my studio in Mexico with titles coming from descriptions given by my Mexican neighbours in my continuing effort to improve my language skills and my understanding of local plants.
In Afterimage the information is recombined and re-imagined suggesting the optical flickers of light that remain after exposure to an original image has passed. Where the Botanica collection documents individual details of specific trees, Afterimage recalls the experience.
Botanica, 43x33cm, relief nature prints on Mura Hoban handmade washi. $300 each.
