About The Piece

‘Together’ is an ink painting by Claire Sieber created in 2022. This piece was part of a larger series that accompanied the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre Public Art Gallery exhibition called ‘Stories of the Forest.’ The project, led by historian and writer Laura Stovel and ethnobotanist Christy Shaw, invited 20 diverse people who are knowledgeable about the forests around Revelstoke to take us to a place in the forest that was special to them and tell us what we could learn there. Five of the storytellers are Indigenous knowledge keepers. Claire Sieber painted details of each story with her beautiful pen-and-ink illustrations. Many of her illustrations used natural materials to create the ink.
