JANINE DUNN
Dunn is an artist and farmer living in Gibsons, BC, who shares stories of daily life on her farm through painting. She draws on personal impressions of motherhood, animal husbandry, degradation and repair, shared labour and hospitality, and isolation and solitude. Her paintings are suffused with people, animals, plants, rural architecture, machinery and tools, making space for the work of dreams, symbols and archetypes to filter her narrative impulses. Working with industrial, agricultural and domestic materials, she collaborates with the weather and elements to develop her canvases.

PROCESS VIDEOS

Paint is mixed with leftover flour, soil, dyeing leaves, and other readily available materials to create new pigments. The canvases are then sown like seeds: physically buried in the earth, left outside, or stored for a later date, resulting in both decay and transformation.

STUDIO LIFE

The Studio is a converted 1940’s camp dormitory, located on a rural road in Gibsons BC. Outdoors, and surrounded by trees is a ‘painting platform’ (originally our wedding stage), where I freely create large scale works.
