Laura Kay Keeling

I (Laura Kay Keeling, she/her/they) am a self-taught visual artist, currently located in Hamilton, Ontario with a practice that questions how we form connections with the natural world. My work encompasses analog photography and video, digital collage, and installation. As a process-based artist utilizing archival investigations, my artwork includes elements from plants and flowers that I have grown (for example petals dropped from a flower) or have foraged. I scan, photograph, press, and repeat when preparing these sourced natural elements. Then, they are added to what I lovingly refer to as my archive, which at the moment includes over 150 natural elements, creating an ever-evolving digital catalog of the natural world.
