Collective is a self-published artist book documenting Miranda Bellamy and Amanda Fauteux’s body of work by the same name, and includes the full series of photographic images with essays by Jessica Groome (artist, Director/Chief Curator, Art Gallery of Grande Prairie, Alberta, Treaty 8 territory) and Emily Jan (artist, writer, Amiskwaciwâskahikan (ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ), Edmonton, Alberta, Treaty 6 territory). Over several years and across the many locations, the artists have met with and photographed hundreds of marked trees. In their images, the makers of the varied marks and traces are absent, while the trees and their marks tell complex stories of loss, renewal, cooperation, and guardianship. Collective has been made possible through support from The New Brunswick Arts Board.
 
Miranda Bellamy (she/her) and Amanda Fauteux (she/her) work as a collaborative duo and with diverse contributors across video, sound, sculpture, installation, and printed matter. Their conceptually-rooted and site-responsive practice emphasises worldbuilding and the relationships between materials and histories. They share their time living within the Sikniktuk district of Mi’kma’ki (Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada) and in Ōtepoti (Dunedin), Aotearoa (New Zealand).
