Fleurs du Mal

The Fleurs du Mal is the latest exhibition created by Calgary based artist Alexandra Haeseker specifically produced to be on display at the Vernon Public Art Gallery. Haeseker’s studio practice has been focused on the critical context of the existence of all living organisms and inevitably their coexistence and survival in this era of advancing climate change. She uses artistic means to convey messages about the state of the ecological impact of human activity upon the environment. The focus of Haeseker’s exhibition Fleurs du Mal is on the portrayal of plant matter and insects and their critical role in the ecosystems.
