Echo Railton, MFA, Toronto, Canada.
Through large-scale drawings with charcoal pulled from bonfires and smaller work on well-loved nautical charts, my work encourages rethinking relationships and responsibilities regarding aggressive introduced species. Kudzu, dandelion, and zebra mussels, feature prominently. I offer native wildflower seeded handmade paper as I am motivated to further our reconciliation with the land, and to foster biodiversity. My community mural-making, and collaborative installation invites the viewer in to the work to play with me. I design and tend a number of pollinator-friendly gardens in public parks, pathways, and schools and teach others what I’ve recently learned about gardening for habitat rather than aesthetics.
Thanks for visiting my website. I have some presence on social media but, I’ve been abstaining lately from it. To get in touch please use the form at the bottom of this page.

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.
