Cedar Chorus [in five parts] was conceived for re:location, a group exhibition at Salt Spring Arts, that 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, which hosts globally rare ecosystems such as Garry oak meadows and Arbutus forests. These landscapes are home to ecoculturally significant species, including camas, chocolate lily, coastal Douglas fir, and red cedar, as well as the distinctive sandstone beaches that define the area’s geography. Cedar Chorus invokes the interwoven histories of these ecosystems, 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.
