In this painting, I reimagine traditional modes of landscape painting through abstraction. Banai-Banai Overprint explores the colonial underpinnings of botanical exploration and how the Philippine landscape was represented in postage stamps produced during the successive colonial regimes of Spain, Japan, and the United States. This work aims to disrupt the oriental and colonial view of the Philippine landscape while highlighting the significant plants that have existed way before colonial encounters as part of social exchange, traditions, or cultural rites.

Kuhlein MigueOkotoks, Alberta
Kuhlein Migue is an emerging artist currently based in Moh’kins’tsis/Calgary. Her art practice is primarily influenced by her experiences and memories growing up in the Philippines. She often references the aesthetic qualities of digital photographs from the early 2000s as well as details associated with home – these include plant species found in gardens in the Philippines, gate grilles, and textile patterns. Kuhlein primarily works in drawing and painting, but her practice sometimes extends to weaving. She holds a BFA from the University of Calgary and is pursuing an MFA from NSCAD University.
