L'Atelier de l'île is delighted to welcome Ed Pien for an artist talk on Saturday, March 9 at 4pm. The artist will discuss his interest in the sentience of water and his explorations made in collaboration with water.
"Through art making, I celebrate diversity and attempt to champion those having less autonomy, agency and voice. What interests me is how, as individuals, we can negotiate and act in the world in responsible, respectful, and empathetic ways. With these ideas in mind, I have also been exploring the sentience of nature, in particular water. I have come to understand the more-than-human world as one having co-agency, liveliness, creativity and storied lives. Most of us tend to see water as a material, over here, over there, yet it is intimately enmeshed with us. Do I feel because it feels and do I act because it acts? As much as I try to define water, water will never be entirely knowable. I revel in its mysteries as well as embrace moments of wonder and enchantment water offers."
