This "Field Portfolio" is a single channel version of the multichannel installation "Herbaria x pelicula." A consideration of collection as both archive and act, "Herbaria x pelicula" examines the work that takes place at the HAM Herbarium of Royal Botanical Gardens (Canada), located in Burlington ON along the edges of Cootes Paradise wetland, traditional territory of the Missisauga and Haudenosaunee peoples. The herbarium collection, which houses over 60,000 holdings, comprises specimens from around the world but is made up primarily of local vascular plant types gathered by the scientific community and educated hobbyists. Combining documentary footage of the herbarium space, code-generated animation of digitized specimen sheets, and images of plantlife processed in plant material, the film work positions the specific labour of botanical gathering and collection as an image-making process in addition to a mode of knowledge production.
