Fraser Valley-based artist Deb Silver seeks to combine and harmonize Coast Salish cultural teachings and scientific enquiry as they relate to plant knowledge, ecology, and analogue photography. This exhibition includes several bodies of Silver’s most recent work, which draw on Stó:lō knowledge and traditional practices as well as theories of plant communication and intelligence. The resulting images are evocative, intimate portraits of forests and undergrowth from the artist’s home territory of S’ólh Téméxw (the Fraser Valley).
This exhibition is part of the 2022 Capture Photography Festival Selected Exhibition Program.
