CANOPY NATIVITY speaks to climate change and its rupture of human habits and habitats. CANOPY NATIVITY combines speculative futurism with the most elemental act of survival—birth.

CANOPY speaks to climate change and its rupture of human habits and habitats. Kayaks lined with birch bark are clad in tin foil and stranded high in the pines. Tin foil is often associated with paranoid strategies of fighting surveillance, but it can also be a protective insulator. As the earth is threatened and threatening, these vessels are adapted in desperation, awaiting new and more sustainably-minded navigators.
