“When I’m out among the trees, my nose full of the smell of pines, leaves, creeks; these are the tiny places that my mind conjures up – the miniature, simple, unobtrusive, homes that I imagine into being, wishing I could stay there forever. All of the forests and wild places that I visit have some interesting little odds and ends to offer up to me: a gnarled piece of driftwood, a perfectly shaped pinecone, an especially pretty twig. I gather up these things, bring them home, and build these little imaginary cabins on their foundation, a reminder, an affirmation, that among the trees is where I am truly home – a home that is a sanctuary, an escape, a refuge.”
Julya Hajnoczky is a Calgary based artist with a BA in French from the University of Calgary and a BDes in photography from the Alberta University of the Arts. Her multidisciplinary practice includes digital and analog photography, fiber art, and book and paper sculpture, and seeks to question the complex relationship between humans and the natural world.
