“Who” not “What” (Solo Exhibition)

Homer Watson House & Gallery

September 12- November 2, 2020

“What draws me to forests is this visceral feeling of needing connection. The forest has helped me in two ways: Finding my identity and working through a major phobia. I have lived for 27 years with debilitating “emetophobia” (fear of vomiting). In 2017 I chose to get help. Through my time healing from emetophobia I have learned what dissociation really feels like. Disconnected from my body, there was no way to connect with others and the community. I felt like I was watching my life go by like a movie. In 2019 I was relieved to finally come out of dissociation. In my healing process a thought came to me: Through Covid-19 a number of news articles on what started the pandemic were published. The destruction of forests plays a monumental part in creating pandemics. I believe if we are truly connected to our planet we would not be harming it to the extent we are. I believe, like I was from my body, we are simply dissociated from our own planet. Just as you would dissociate and self harm in mental illness - I believe we are self harming on a greater scale due to disconnection. Think of a cedar tree as you would your own grandmother, appreciate the shade a pine gives you on a hot day. Feel or smell their bark mindfully. I invite you to connect to the forest around you in a way you would a “Who” not a “What”.

15% of all proceeds go to Land Back Camp, Victoria Park, Kitchener”
