New Headshots!
It’s been awhile you guys! I have been working on my tiny home project all summer which has been draining my energy to do much else. I connected someone from the QEWM group on Facebook to redo my headshots. And we did the shoot this past Friday. I’m super excited to getting around to updating the imagery on this website.
In other news my tiny home exterior is nearly done I just have to secure a roof, finish up the siding and put the door up. Physically I’m just over the project so it’s been hard to find motivation but trying really hard to finish this by the end of the year. I’ve been kinda insecure about my body lately since I’m just trying to take care of myself internally and it doesn’t always reflect physically: i.e comfort foods, extra sleep, etc.! so I chose an outfit that would loosely drape over my curves and I think it turned out OK.

Brassicaceae textile patern
I have been really liking the idea of making impressions from the ground or of some plant material source as a way to make an image. While this technique does not have any cultural or scientific significance and it’s purely artistic — yet, I am enjoying the versatility of this.
Before I left, I had a vision of taking the impression project all the way to something more completed and more final and that was doing some sort of textile project. I decided on a t-shirt or pillowcase as a final project.
Below is an impression of a plant from the Brassicaceae family or the mustard family, most likely brought over from the Danish explorers. During my planning, I had looked up potential PR stories and one of the subjects was the ‘old and the new’ co-exist here. The contrast of these two plants Mustard and Labrador Tea visually depicts this.
While there’s been significant developments with this project, it’s no where near to the point of an exhibition or some bigger final piece.

In Greenland I was introduced to Labrador tea, a favorite of the Inuit with its cultural significance and interesting shape, I made an impression from a flower, as well as did microscopy and Kirlian photography. The digital pics I got of the flower unfortunately did not turn out well. But Labrador tea was one of the plants I decided to ‘study’ and make images of.

I was also able to take this technique way out into the countryside of Kapisillit and make an impression on the spot on the tour. Doing this gave me a better idea of how to conduct my artwork in this setting. If I could, I would’ve gone to the countryside myself but clearly much safer with a tour guide in Greenland. I only had to wait a half an hour for the putty to cure to get the impression.
