Workshop - Memory Mapping with Kari Fisher


  • Island Mountain Arts Box 65 Wells, BC, V0K 2R0 (map)

This is a TWO-day workshop with Kari Fisher

Saturday July 18th from 11am-3pm

Sunday July 19th from 11am-3pm

Workshop overview:
This workshop invites participants to reflect on personal and collective memory through spatial recall—specifically, how interior and natural environments shape our sense of place. Over two three-hour sessions, participants will explore remembered spaces (such as homes or meaningful landscapes) and how these memories interrelate.

On Day 1, we’ll walk through the Bog, gathering plants and reflecting on spaces we feel connected to. Participants will sketch a place of personal significance—this could be a floorplan, a recurring dream space, or an object associated with a familiar landscape.

On Day 2, these drawings will be turned into cyanotype prints, layered with collected local flora.

Artist Bio

Kari Fisher (she/her) is a multidisciplinary emerging artist based in Merville, BC. Drawing on her backgrounds in interior design, floral design, permaculture, and celluloid filmmaking, her practice explores themes of memory, displacement, and healing. Having lived in 44 homes across Western Canada, Kari’s work reflects a life shaped by constant movement and the search for rootedness. Through cyanotype printmaking, ceramics, botanical assemblage, and 16mm film, she transforms personal history into visual narratives that invite reflection, empathy, and collective dialogue. Her work is deeply influenced by the natural world and the emotional landscapes of domestic space. She is particularly interested in how art can hold space for trauma while fostering restoration and connection.
