Artist Talk: Liz Zetlin — More Than Human

Step into a living, breathing artwork 🌿

Join us this Saturday, May 9th from 11 AM–12 PM in the TOM Studio for an engaging artist talk with Liz Zetlin, exploring her immersive four-channel video installation More Than Human.

Filmed over the course of a year in her own garden, this powerful work invites viewers into the shifting rhythms of the seasons—where frost softens into spring, blossoms swell into summer abundance, and autumn returns the landscape to stillness. Through layered projections and sound, the garden becomes a vibrant, interconnected ecosystem alive with movement, energy, and relationship.

Drawing on the concept of the “more-than-human,” Liz Zetlin challenges us to move beyond a human-centred view of the world. Plants are revealed as active, communicative beings, pollinators move with purpose and agency, and even the smallest leaf or moth is held as a vital presence within a shared ecological field. The work invites a slower way of seeing—one rooted in attention, reciprocity, and care.

Liz Zetlin is an environmental artist, poet, and Owen Sound’s inaugural Poet Laureate. Her practice spans video, photography, installation, and site-based ecological collaboration, with a focus on regeneration, pollinators, and native plant communities. She is also the founder of Pollinate Owen Sound and a longtime advocate for community-based climate and environmental action.
