Episode 13: My Not Bog by Teal Gardner

Teal Gardner (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in Boise, ID, where she has resided since 2016. Read more about her work at bodiesofthemesh.cargo.site.

This recording explores the slippages among ecosystems, the human self, and the ruins produced by extraction. It features a sound experiment that replicates Alivn Lucier's 1969 "I Am Sitting in a Room."

Special thanks goes to Hartford University's Nomad MFA Cohort C6 (Seasick) for the company and collaboration in the artist's exploration of Crystal Peat. And a thank you to the professors Christy Gast and Camila Marambio and their project Ensayos, where you can learn so much more about Peatlands:  https://ensayostierradelfuego.net
