Amy-Claire Huestis
Amy-Claire Huestis lives in the Pacific Northwest of North America in the estuary of the Fraser River at Hwlitsum, on Canoe Pass. In her experiential practice, she suspends a state of wonder in relation to nature and its mysteries. Thinking through how we might cohabit well with other species, she makes work through ritual and deep attention to the landscape over time. Her works cross boundaries between drawing, painting, walking and creative writing. Alongside solitary pieces made in close attention to nature, she often collaborates with artists and communities of scientists and conservationists. Amy-Claire has done residencies at the Bothy Project in Scotland and the UCLA Art/Science Centre. Her performances include venues such as the UCLA Broad Art Centre, and University Settlement and the Baryshnikov Dance Centre in New York City. She is a full-time faculty at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in the lower mainland of British Columbia. Her current work centres on her home in the marshland.
