The ”Stone swatch series” began with the idea that something very small - like a handful of stones collected on a camping trip with my daughter - can act as a kind of distilled index of the land itself. Monoprints of these same stones were used as source imagery for this collection of handwoven Jacquard swatches. Each small piece of cloth is a unique tactile souvenir of a specific site, providing an object for contemplation of the natural landscape and our place in it. As a descendent of settler culture in Treaty Seven territory, I am working to navigate the legacy of my ancestors in order to better understand how I occupy territory both as a settler and a child of this land.
