Echo Railton, MFA draws, gardens and teaches in Tkaronto, Canada. A founding member of the collective Analog Analogue, and member of MOTHRA, a collective of artist-caregivers. My work includes large-scale drawings with charcoal pulled from bonfires, community mural-making and collaborative installation and designing/tending a number of pollinator-friendly gardens in public parks, pathways, and schools.
My work encourages rethinking relationships and responsibilities regarding aggressive introduced species, such as kudzu, dandelion and zebra mussels. I am motivated to further our reconciliation with the land, and to foster biodiversity.

Art Team Analog Analogue. Gallery works take the form of playful, viewer-interactive temporary installations. These encourage the viewer to realize their power and learn to play again. “What am I supposed to do?” they ask. “Anything you want to” we tell them. And then they play.
