*About the Artist*

Laura Hale is visual artist based from Saskatchewan. Her art practice
includes public art, outdoor and indoor site-specific installation,
temporary and ephemeral land art, object making and community-based
projects.

Her work often focuses on exploring and responding to location, landscape
and the environment and the exploration, collection and sourcing of local
and unique materials. By using and combining an eclectic range of art
making materials her work comes together to create objects and experiences
that animate and respond to location, increasing awareness of our
surroundings and challenges the way we see familiar objects or places.

She is inspired by Land Art in the use of the landscape and natural
materials in the creation of the work; Craft Art by the practice and skill
of making of things by hand; and by the Arte Povera movement in the use of
unconventional, everyday materials to create objects and interactive
experiences.

Laura studied at the University of Regina in Saskatchewan and Emily Carr
University in Vancouver, British Columbia. She has received several
Saskatchewan Arts Board grants and a CARFAC Saskatchewan Emerging Artist
award.
