The Fruits of Strange Soil
A series of watercolour illustrations, displayed at the Parks Canada Red Feather Saloon
The Fruits of Strange Soil, funded by On Yukon Time, is a response to watching the COVID-19 pandemic evolve from relative safety here in the Yukon. Presented at the Red Feather Saloon, it was a work in progress, a loose experiment that exists somewhere between making one-off drawings and comics or other sequential narratives. The prints were sequentially displayed in the windows of the Parks Canada Red Feather Saloon, allowing the viewer to take in each print one at a time as they travel the length of the building.
