Beaty Biodiversity Museum

Opening Sep 21 Meteobotany by Bettina Matzkuhn pairs drawings of cloud systems with embroidered plant life, in particular, lichens. Iterations go from digital satellite images, to drawing done by hand on a digital surface, then commercially printed onto fabric and finally embroidered by hand. Matzkuhn explores contrasts of technologies and materials and points of view. Through combining macro and micro viewpoints, the artist hopes to convey the sense of the northwest coast as an intricate and intertwined life form – a living, dynamic presence.
