Surrey Art Gallery Association announces the first Thursday Artist Talk of the season with exhibiting artist Cat Hart from remember the earth, remember the sky. Admission is free.

Join Hart as they speak to their work in the exhibition in connection to their artistic practice.

Influenced by queer ecologies and Indigenous teachings about good land relations alongside the deepening

climate crisis, Hart has developed a site-responsive, ecologically accountable art practice that is connected

to place. Using experimental photography, wild clay, and other land-based methods, their work reflects on

memory, place, migration, and biodiversity.

By using traditional, pre-Industrial craftsmanship and creative processes in combination with experimental land-based and site-responsive artistic methods, Hart starts from a place of curiosity, allowing the plants, waters, and soils to guide

and shape the work. “I try to move away from perfection and embrace all outcomes” Hart states. “I seek to highlight

the plants and ecologies that have survived and thrived in spite of our interventions on the land or, in the case of

invasive and introduced species, because of them.”

The saga shop will be open before the talk, 3:30pm to 7:30pm.
