Domain Forest

Power to the Plants! All of the plant life that surrounds us shares the world with us. In this artist project Tania Willard reflects on the perspective of plants, including those important to Secwepemc culture like the Saskatoon bush.

Domain Forest is a term used in computer networking, the forest as infinitely linked system is explored by celebrating one Saskatoon bush and projecting political slogans from a plant’s perspective. Using projection and reflection the work considers Secwepemc knowledge systems, forest ecologies and the analagous terms in computer systems that never accomplish the same kind of connectivity between species that the forest does. The forest takes care of everything, the flowers blossom, the berries form, everything eats and eliminates and fertilizes and these berries grow again, until our beautiful land is as abundant as it always was.
