Cedar Chorus


2024, tinted acrylic, rope, cedar, arbutus, resin, shells, hardware.

Cedar Chorus, part of re:location, a group exhibition at Salt Spring Arts, brought together artists engaging with the complexities of place, ecology, and cultural narratives within the Salish Sea.

This work reflects the unique ecological and cultural significance of the region. These landscapes are home to ecoculturally significant species, including camas, chocolate lily, coastal Douglas fir, and red cedar. Distinctive sandstone beaches that define the area’s geography. Cedar Chorus invokes the interwoven stories within these places exploring the layered relationship between land, stewardship, and the resilience of native flora. Presented as a collective "chorus," the five works underscore a shared voice through variations in form.
