Congratulations Kacie. Kacie has recently defended her thesis for the degree of Master of Fine Art (Visual Art).

“My art presents a critical view of nonhumans and how they are sentient beings that
mourn and also grieve. The inspiration for my thesis came from an across Canada drive that I
took from Kelowna, British Columbia to Windsor, Ontario during which time I saw 140
animals dead on the highway.

The installation entitled (un)spoken uses motion sensors, video, photography, and
mapping to address mourning, grief, “entangled empathy”, and “rewilding” through the
symbolic representation of my journey and the crows that followed me on my way. I see my
installation as an entry point for individuals to start to rethink their relationships with
nonhumans in their daily lives.”
