Ember Penumbra
I am a Canadian research artist working with natural materials and electronics. I run the Ayatana Artists' Research Program that facilitates expeditions for artists to study nature through science and other non-normal points of view in Canada. My art practice is informed by my study of road kill lepidoptery, sky gazing, rural exploration and most passionately: mycology. I travel the world in search of mushrooms, witch's markets, hot springs and ghost towns. I map my favorite places.
