"As alumni of Emily Carr University of Art + Design and North Island College, artists
Jessie Zelko, Sarah Bergeron and TaraLee Houston have supported each others individual
art practices and collaborated numerous times throughout the last several years, notably
the painting Collaboration, and the video What is an Estuary? for Project Watershed.
These three artists are diverse in their individual art practices but share a collective
passion for the visual arts. They employ arts-based research of biodiversity and ecology
in notably diverse ways using an array of subjects, styles, colors and sourced content.
Each artist sees the world through their own lens, finding the elements they connect
to – internally and externally – and conveying these through their art practices.
Because of the artists' deep connections to the surrounding environment, their works
find harmony in their diversity. Looking at the biological underpinnings of each of
the artworks in this exhibition we discover how interconnected everything is – animals,
plants, humans, water, earth, emotions, colours, materials, abstractions, expressions
and inclusions are in a constant dialogue with one another."
