Statement from Artist:
"In response to my current position as Horticultural Technician Apprentice, I've been dreaming of my decolonized relationship to the land. In the Anthropocene, our community's relationship to public space becomes alarmingly personal. My research + experiential maps bump up against Settler + Indigenous collaborations in public space planning; recognizing the Master Plans of both Allen Gardens + Toronto Island-Mnisiing as living documents with public-facing identities.
My experience of this research is fresh and alive. It is messy, in-process, + subject to change. Who has access to the dream? Who is dreaming? Whose dreams take the longest to realize? How do we reconcile project deadlines with developing relationships to land (we can't)?
Special thanks to
Friends of Allen Gardens,
Barbara Anderson of Toronto Island Parks; The Anishinaabe, The Mississaugas of the Credit, The Huron-Wendaat, The Haudenosaunee, + countless First Nations People + Settlers who steward Treaty 13 + beyond."
