My name is Doro Buch, I’m a visual artist living and have been working in Calgary since 2012. Originally a social scientist, I blend my art with my interest in our society and the relationship between our built and natural environment. Since 2019, I am increasingly working on community engagement art projects: I value them as a great opportunity to bring people together, open dialog and inspire reflection.
Jennifer Ireland is a research based, multi-medium artist, working to question with wonder; ways of knowing and ways of being in land. Ireland strives to make work that is mindful of situation, site, context, and access. This ethic is found in her work through materials and methods which are often light, sustainable and provisional. Ireland’s practice ranges from drawing, photography, video, and sculpture, to site-sensitive installation and performance. Each of their works strives to operate as speculative wayfinding in this Anthropocenic time.
I compose and perform music about the world and climates both world, and human and animal.
