Laurel Rennie

Laurel Rennie is an artist who works with textiles, sculpture, and writing. Increasingly, her making is fixated on spiritual survival. Even if our bodies survive each passing year, how do our spirits remain intact? As the world becomes increasingly inhospitable to many forms of life, largely because of human impact, she creates work that gathers stories from plants, dreams, mystery, non-humans, and the sensual world as a way of processing our knotted relationships and histories. She was born in Ontario, has lingering roots in Nova Scotia, and is currently based in Montréal.
