Heather Leier is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Calgary in the Treaty 7 region in southern Alberta, Canada. Her art practice employs research-creation approaches to examine embodied trauma and problematize shared assumptions of socially constructed life phases and identities. This work ranges from the production of printed ephemera to life-size site-specific print installations, drawing attention to negotiations of space and endurance with violence. When she isn’t teaching or working on various printmaking projects, she is likely tending to her plant cohabitants.
