Spirale En Bois is a 20’ x 20’ installation of an ascending spiral wood-pile. This sculpture was built as a durational performance and interactive artwork for the International Symposium of Contemporary Art Baie-Saint-Paul in 2019. Visitors to the open studio were engaged in conversations around personal history with firewood as a survival source, extraction industry, forestry practices, and feminism.

Dispatches from the Future Feminist Utopia is a work revisiting major earthworks and recasting them as abandoned alien technology. Feminists in the future have appropriated these devices (the earthworks) to bring forth the feminist utopia.The narrative voice (spoken as the moon) is polyvocal and decentred through multiple genders and accents. This work – an installation of sculptures and watercolour schematic drawings, and videos – describe how to activate the earthwork devices to bring on the feminist utopia now. The works compel the dispatch recipients to find their own iteration of this possibility.
