Abstract

One artist might plumb the depths of another artist’s work. Surface necessarily implies depth and Hardeman’s Petrichor documents grief as a play between surface and depth in the detritus of living. Budde’s poem After Hardeman’s ‘Petrichor’ follows her there with tender hands of language and a sharing of grief in all its levels.

Author Biography

Corey Hardeman

Born and raised in Halifax, Corey Hardeman has lived most of her adult life in British Columbia. She holds a BSc in Biology and has spent most of her life searching for ways to make a living gazing into tidal pools and forest canopies. For several years she lived off-grid in a hand built yurt, and made paintings in the brief intervals between tending to her four young children. Now that her children are larger and she’s traded her tent in the forest for solid walls, she paints all day and often marvels at the luxury of hot and cold running water.
