Deep Earth lies at the intersections of art and ecology. It is a process of mapping and investigating deep geologic time to better understand what has been discovered through science and figure out what role(s) imagery, visual culture, and/or animation play to promote discourse and critical reflection. How can scientific ways of learning and knowing be influenced or transgressed by other ways of knowing and being? Whose earth is it anyway? I am especially interested in discovering crossroads or opportunities between Science, Indigenous and feminist perspectives.

Deep Earth allows me to question how I, as an artist, situate myself in relation to fluctuations or disruptions in Earth Systems, fear, danger, extinction. Deep Earth involves creating potential partnerships in navigating our collective past, present and future and promoting learning and critical engagement. Some of these illustrations have been in the peer review journal Ecological Citizen, and the project has received some funding from The Canada Council for the Arts to collaborate with writers/editors in its conception, and is still in process.
