Marie Metaphor Specht

Marie Metaphor is a multidisciplinary artist living on the traditional territories of the Lək̓ʷəŋən speaking peoples, (Victoria, BC). The vocabulary of the sea, the chlorophyll dialects of the forest and the anchor of this soil are integral to her work as a visual artist and poet. In addition to her independent work, Marie has collaborated with musicians, film-makers and lighting technicians to create elaborate and often interactive works. Whatever form her work takes, Marie leads with compassion as she composes moments of nourishing intimacy and connection. She believes in reckless acts of beauty. She believes in the power of stories shared.
