Calamity: A Torrent and a Trickle

Solo exhibition and residency at the Canadian Centre for Climate Change and Adaptation at University of Prince Edward Island, January 8 - March 4 2024

Calamity: A Torrent and a Trickle was an exhibition that explore imagined spaces amidst an ever-deteriorating environment. The drawings not only document but also fictionalize climate disasters, delving into the psyche's response to pressing environmental challenges, juxtaposing fragility with resiliency and reality with escapism.

The wall installation The Observation Lab was composed of drawing cut-outs that developed over two months to depict a research laboratory. This work-in-progress responded to the research, conversations, and experiences I encountered during my time as a Climate Artist-in-Residence. Within the artwork, viewers may notice references to various objects, furnishings, and findings from the Canadian Centre for Climate Change and Adaptation, along with natural elements observed through the building's windows. The building itself serves as a canvas.
