Chelsea Cater

May 2019

Chelsea, currently living in New York, used the summer residency to focus on acclimating to Vancouver and the surrounding landscape, through the density and features of her surroundings–how urban a space is, how rural, how suburban or in-between– by way of taking walks, automatic writing, and painting. Working on different fabrics (canvas, linen, jersey, rayon) and borrowing imagery from nature or natural phenomena, Chelsea planned use the studio to interpret and re-evaluate impressions of the new environment through painting and writing.
