Tracey-Mae Chambers is a Métis artist living in Southern Ontario. Her practice mainly focusses on encaustic as a 3D medium as well as installation work. She tries to work exclusively with natural materials as she feels that respect for the Mother Earth is paramount. Her installation work speaks to our connection to and disconnect from the natural world.

In her talk, Chambers discusses her installation work and pushing the boundaries of a medium’s expected output.
