Where the Sky Carries the Sun

The sun is cradled by sky; imagined shifting its weight along a strap or loose in a pouch of blue cloth. If you can, be still, and look. You can see the world changing around you, sometimes gradually, sometimes suddenly. Daily, a changed world. Hourly, a changed world. With each blink, a changed world. Our material culture is a mirror, the surface is a reflection of the world and universe. The substrate of the internet supports connectivity, connecting skies.

This daily series of 14 object videos carry documented skies at various times of day, in various weather conditions. Nothing special happened to me on these days, but lifechanging happened for someone else.

Katherine Boyer is a multidisciplinary artist, whose work is focused on methods bound to textile arts and the handmade, including fabric manipulation, papermaking, woodworking and beadwork. Boyer’s art and research is entrenched in Métis history, material culture and personal family narratives. Through the experience of long, slow, and considerate laborious processes, Boyer contemplates the use of her own Métis body as a conduit for building upon ancestor relations. Boyer has received a BFA from the University of Regina and an MFA at the University of Manitoba. She currently holds a position as an Assistant Professor at the University of Manitoba, School of Art.
