A conversation with Canvas Rebel
Kerrie, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on?
Artist in Residence 2022-2023 Wildling Museum of Art & Nature, Solvang CA. -“Portals & Pathways” installation that focused on plant and animal/insect life compromised by our changing climate. These installations reference the flora and plants that are becoming extinct and changing in our Southern California region while re-imagining and valuing the possibilities of new colorful hybrids, insects and animals that could exist because of these changes. Using diaphanous fabrics to create banners in various sizes, printing and painting loose atmospheric background brush strokes suggesting elements, such as water rushing in a stream, the sun’s rays scorching our earth, or wild wind picking up just before a drenching rain. All powerful elemental forces of our changing planet that I discover, record and experience on my many walks and travels in the wilderness and other natural areas.
