LIZ INGRAM

The human condition, with a focus on the human body in nature, is an ongoing preoccupation for me. My art practice attempts to connect the viewer to a sense of place in/as nature - a sense of place that is in serious jeopardy. My source, a site in the northern boreal forest of Alberta, Canada, had been severely affected by settler activities, but due to nature’s raw force and delicate touch we are witness to her regenerative power.

Using metaphorical images of fire and floods, destruction and nurture, our work attempts to express a truth about the pressing need to love, to act, and to find our regenerative place within nature.
