Katherine Boyer presents her Water Meets Body solo exhibition, featuring new video, sculptural and textile works.
“I feel a responsibility to project towards the future, with one hand greeting the past, to build new relationships to home, histories and recognizing our bodies inhabiting significant spaces.” — Katherine Boyer.
Boyer’s research is rooted in Métis history. Her personal family stories intertwine with heritage culture. Referring to the 200-year connection of relations with the junction of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers and their subsequent arrivals and departures, which were often caused by the division of land, she creates her installations from natural materials, as if returning to her native land.
Katherine Boyer received a BFA from the University of Regina in 2010 and completed a Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Manitoba in 2018. Her recent exhibitions include The Prairie Rose Won’t Mourn Us, Zalucky Contemporary, Toronto; Li Salay, Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton; Crafting the Future, OCADU Canadian Craft Biennial; Out of Repetition, Difference, Zalucky Contemporary, Toronto; LandMarks 2017/ Repères 2017, Place and Placelessness, Winnipeg; BeadSpeak at Slate Fine Art Gallery Regina; and Anishnaabensag Biimskowebshkigewag (Native Kids Ride Bikes) Dunlop Art Gallery, Regina. Boyer’s art also toured nationally as part of the Dunlop Art Gallery’s Material Girls exhibition. She is an Assistant Professors at the School of Art, University of Manitoba.
The subtlety of the feelings of this exhibition will allow each visitor to feel an integral part of nature, which is surrounded by us and is looking for a way of manifestation.
