Ruth Marsh is a Canadian multidisciplinary artist of settler ancestry based out of Kjipuktuk (Halifax, N.S.). Her work addresses loss, absence, memory and healing both in bodies and environments. Since graduating from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 2006, her practice has spanned painting, drawing, taxidermy, video, performance, installation and stop-motion animation.
Professor Art Davis began his professorial appointment in the Department of Biology at the University of Saskatchewan in 1994. Among many others, he teaches a course devoted to honey bees and beekeeping for the Department of Plant Sciences. He also conducts research on the production of nectar, the main attractant of pollinating insects to flowers and the key source of honey.
