Krista-Leigh Davis is a visual artist working in video, animation, and sculpture, living between Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in territory (Dawson City, Yukon) and K’jipuktuk (Halifax, Nova Scotia). Her practice is a space where dirt, bones, and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs, and jars of glass glitter. Where queerness, the Wild, and relationships in the natural world guide artistic explorations. In this space, Davis hopes to uncover creative, even fantastical strategies to shift human and non-human relationships towards a more ecologically just world.
