The sculptures are composed of natural items mixed with construction materials, including both soft, fragile objects and hard surfaces. I will also be doing research into resource extraction towns across BC and some processes and techniques I want to use in making work in these mining and pulp and paper ghost towns in the coming months.” - Emily Neufeld
