Using Boreal Forest inks made by Betty, community participants made ink blots that were photographed and assembled as patterns in a galaxy for a digital projection. The resulting composition is being presented Sept 28-30 as an outdoor installation in Thunder Bay during the Ontario Culture Days Festival. Creative in Residence Betty Carpick will present an artist talk at Co. Lab, sharing her artistic journey and the inspirations for her public art projection.About the Artist:Betty Carpick grew up in Northern Manitoba, and currently lives alongside Gichigamiing in Thunder Bay, Ontario. In her work, she is constantly engaging with the natural world. The interdisciplinary and intergenerational ways that she offers stewardship of land and water are shaped by her Cree and Eastern European heritage. Her community’s lived experience with permanent watershed devastation for energy extraction amplifies the ways she uses art to hold conversations on caring for the living planet. Betty&#x27;s practice includes ink making, textile arts, writing, drawing, sculpture, photography, performance, and installation. She intersects her own practice with communities of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds and invites them to engage the spirit of play, discovery, and collective responsibility for our planet.-﻿This program is a part of the <a href="https://onculturedays.ca/2023-creatives-in-residence/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Creatives In Residence</a> series by <a href="https://onculturedays.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ontario Culture Days</a>.These programs would not be possible without the support of <a href="https://destinationnorthernontario.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Destination Northern Ontario</a>, the <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Government of Canada</a>, the <a href="https://canadacouncil.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Canada Council for the Arts</a>, the <a href="https://www.ontario.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Province of Ontario</a>, the <a href="https://www.arts.on.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ontario Arts Council</a>, the <a href="https://www.ocaf.on.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund </a>and the <a href="https://torontoartscouncil.org/home" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Toronto Arts Council</a>.The Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund is a program of the Government of Ontario through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, administered by the Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund Corporation.
