Working at the intersection of visual art and environmental studies, Canadian artist Genevieve Robertson produces work which is powerfully informed by a personal and intergenerational history of forestry labour in remote locations across British Columbia.

Genevieve’s practice is grounded in drawing and painting but also extends to video, installation and various forms of collective work and collaboration. 

Her Birmingham exhibition explores the interconnection between natural and industrial histories, vegetal intelligence and ecological trauma. 

The display examines two forested sites separated by 310 million years and 7,000 kilometres: the ancient swamps of the Black Country and a slope in British Columbia which has recently been affected by fire and logging.
