Jessica Houston
A Life of Its Own

2021

About the Item

Jessica Houston has traveled from pole to pole—using photography, painting, oral histories and objects—to evoke natureculture entanglements. Her multimedia projects often include site-specific oral histories that amplify the memory of a place and evoke land as a living process. She has worked on projects involving communities and their relationship to their environments in the Canadian Arctic, Antarctica, Greenland, Iceland, and Italy. Houston has created site-specific works for the New Jersey MOCA, Asbury Park, New Jersey; the Castello di Corigliano, Puglia, Italy; Governors Island, NY, NY; and The Albany Airport, Albany, NY. Select exhibitions include Art Mûr Gallery, Montréal, Canada; The Hyde Collection Museum, Glens Falls, NY; and The Latimer House Museum, New York, NY. Her works are funded by The Canada Council for the Arts and are in the collections of The Montréal Museum of Fine Arts; Prêt d’œuvres d’art, Musée National Des Beaux-Arts du Quebec; Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ), Montréal, Québec; Bank of Montréal, Toronto; and the Consulate General of Monaco, Montréal.

  • Chalk Streams 11, Ellie Davies - Landscape Photography, Nature Photography
    By Ellie Davies
    Located in Brighton, GB
    All prints are produced to order and lead times are expected between 15-20 days. Chalk Streams 11 is a stunning C-Type Print on Fuji Crystal Archive Paper in Maxima Matte. This size print is available in an Edition of 7 + 2 Artist Proofs. In her new series, Chalk Streams, Ellie Davies focusses on the stunning natural ecosystems that are the crystal-clear chalk streams in Dorset and Hampshire, near where she lives, in the West of England. One theme that threads throughout her entire body of work is an appreciation and concern for the natural environment around us. In Chalk Streams, Davies looks at the delicate ecosystems that are under threat. Chalk streams are a unique ecosystem that house a high biodiversity of plants and creatures. Their cool, fresh waters come from rain that permeates the chalk, filtering it and allowing it to flow through the flinty bedrock and emerge further down slopes as purely clear mineral water. In this series, Davies takes the reflection of light on the surface of the sea and overlays it onto the chalk streams, creating a sparkling liquid path...
