Things I got up to in 2024
Stair and ceiling murals!
I have been an interior painter since 2011, sometimes I am asked to do creative stuff!
Worm Wishes: An Exercise in Decomposition. Interspecies collaborative durational performance/installation
Located at the Art Gallery of Grande Prairie from August 2024 - January 2025. Worm Wishes was my first Hometown exhibition. Now you know where the “Prairie” in “Prairie_Bre” comes from.
1 Part science fair diorama, 1 part art school graduate who couldn’t find a career in her field so she started up an antique mall booth featuring trash upcycles - this installation showcases the intersection of vermicomposting and the white cube.
Viewers were instructed to take a piece of paper, write a wish, hope, fear, or WHATEVER, and feed it to this rubbermaid bin which contains no less than 100 red Wriggler Worms. After giving the worms plenty of time to turn these thoughts into soil, I would eventually host a performance in which the soil would be fed to a local tree. Acting as a translator between humans and local flora.
This exhibition featured a vermicomposting workshop in which I taught folks the value of vermicomposting, and how dang good it is for your plants.
