Richelle Forsey

Richelle Forsey is an interdisciplinary process-based creator and writer. Forsey’s practice is rooted in storytelling, the discourse of images, aleatory outputs, and ultimately making works for slow looking - a practice akin to Pauline Oliveros’ Deep Listening. Forsey is a founding member of the photography collective TLR Club and the graphic artist for the indie experimental music label Aural Tethers. She resides in Guelph, Ontario and is the Photography Technician at the University of Guelph.

Artist Statement

Forsey’s practice explores new possibilities in photographic image-making using analogue and digital processes and aleatory techniques. Like many others, the pandemic overwhelmed them with a need to fill time with something meaningful and escape the confines of home and be in nature. Inspired by their work as a photographer for an arboretum, intrigued by deepfake software and experiments with AI art making apps, they began to cultivate Content Aware Gardens – artificial greenspace reproductions made in collaboration with AI. They are reimaginings of the beautiful chaos of forests and gardens, and a digital sanctuary from the current moment.
