Currently living two streets away from farmland, I find myself on the edge of suburban sprawl, something I have coined “RURBIA”, an apt vantage point given my current thematic and aesthetic explorations. In these works I visually investigate how our culture simultaneously mimics and destroys nature through its industrious design and development. Juxtaposing structures and patterns of urban development against the organic boundaries and landforms of the countryside, draws attention to the farmland needed to sustain us that becomes more and more compromised. The patchwork into the canvases is intended to communicate a hope for mending our landscapes, while the thick palette knife strokes of plastic paint beside the squares of recycled fabric, reveal the dense carbon footprint left behind by the highly consumerist machine of our society. The final layer of block printing creates a nostalgia for the natural habitat and wildlife that once inhabited these spaces, which are now often thought of as pests. Rurbia: Corral specifically layers an old farm corral atop of fast food drive-thrus, speaking to how we have become the animals within our own industrial design.

Spending the majority of her childhood camping, hiking and skiing, Price generated a true respect and connection with the land that still informs her work today. Now living in Barrie, Ontario, Price recently completed her MFA in Interdisciplinary Art Media and Design from OCAD University in Toronto, Ontario. A recipient of a 2016 SSHRC national research grant and a 2017 Michael Smith Foreign Study Bursary for her research on how textiles have impacted geography, socially politically, physically and environmentally, Price is currently pursuing her PhD in Cultural Studies at Queen's Univerity. Price’s practice-led research continues to present narratives about the fragility and inter-connectivity of our landscapes. Looking to contemporary landscape theory as well as actor network theory, Price's fascination with environments; urban, rural, suburban or otherwise, stems from a desire to document or map our deeply interconnected ecologies and the agency or lack of agency one might have within these networks. Also a graduate of the Fine Arts Program at the University of Western Ontario, Price received instruction and mentoring from many nationally recognized artists such as Duncan De Kergommeaux, Sheila Butler, Wyn Geleynse, Colette Urban, Kim Moodie, Helmut Becker, and curator Barbara Fischer.
