islandness
Newfoundland: August – September 2017
Shetland: October – November 2018
islandness was a collaborative project exploring life on two northern islands through the art practices of two islanders: Jane Walker (Newfoundland) and Vivian Ross-Smith (Shetland). islandness aimed to bring people and place together, forging new bonds among individuals, artists and communities through making and gathering socially.
The project was experiential and personal for the artists and the communities involved. Everyday life, rhythms, gathering places and local experiences were central to the project. Whether through participation in a workshop, attending a community supper, or taking the time to consider what it means to be an islander in shared conversations.
