The Squamish Arts Council sits on the unceded territory of the Skwxwú7mesh Nation. We mourn with First Nations communities across Canada, which have been impacted by the discovery of the 215 children by the Tk’emlups te Secwépemc First Nation at the Kamloops Residencial School site. We recognize that this discovery symbolizes the ongoing effects of Canadian colonialism and the multi generational trauma that resulted from the residential school system. We will continue to do our work to amplify First Nations voices, listen, learn and do whatever we can to contribute to reconciliation and healing. 🧡

Congratulations @laaracerman on being one of our Public Grant awardees! We are so excited to see Lara’s project come to fruition. The Cedar Cone Rain Catcher will be a metal sculpture in the shape of a Western Red Cedar cone that will collect rain and funnel it down to play rain chimes.

In the meantime, you can enjoy some of her past work through these images (read the description for more info. on each piece).

Laara Cerman’s work explores the intersection of art, science, and history through investigating patches of wilderness that survive within suburban and urban landscapes. Her explorations continue into the forests of British Columbia where she aims to teach herself how to see the diversity of the forest floor in the midst of an era where this knowledge has lost its priority but not its importance. With an ongoing practice of collecting wild plant specimens, Laara is creating a digital herbarium documenting the full life cycle of plants while learning about different aspects and uses of flora growing in Canada’s most bio diverse province.

Images 1-3: “Forest Floor” was commissioned by the city of Richmond in 2020 for the rotunda floor at Richmond Cultural Centre. This hyper-real scene is created from digital scans of various composited, magnified elements found in the forests of British Columbia, and gives us the impression of the forest trying to break through. @cityofrichmondbc @howartworks

Image 4: “Bouquet of Ferns” was created by digitally manipulating and repeating bits and pieces of scans of botanical illustrations from volume one and two of the book “Icones filicum”, buploshed in 1831. The drawings were by botanist Sir William Jackson Hooker.

Image 5: “Floras Song No. 1 in C Major” was created in collaboration with geneticist Dr. Scott Pownall, founder of Open Science Network, for a three day art and science festival by the @curiositycollider in 2019. It plays a short sequence of plant DNA fr two invasive plants converted to music on a hand crank music box.
