About the Exhibition

“Our identity includes our natural world, how we move through it, how we interact with it and how it sustains us” – David Suzuki (The Sacred Balance: Rediscovering Our Place in Nature)

Natural Resources is an observation of the current state of Canada’s iconic landscape. Through the use of handmade objects Natural Resources explores human intervention, Canadian imagery, concepts of natural space along with the idea of constructed versus natural landscape.

Artist Bio: Tait Wilman is an artist currently based in Calgary, raised on the prairies and by the sea of the West Coast. Experiencing the Canadian heritage, landscape, and our connection to nature are some aspects of inspiration to Tait’s practice. Creating artworks that revolve around these influences and using a sense humour fuels my creativity.
