Laura Millard

She uses for her installations drawings and videos records of the marks left on the earth obtained from drones, such as traces of the tracks of skates and snowmobiles on ice in northern Canada in a long-term investigation of ways to reinvent the landscape tradition of Canada.

[5] Over time, she brought together in her art the contradictory ways in which landscape could be seen, altered and represented, varying her approach for different exhibitions to try and reinvent the genre.

In 2004, she was said to have merged the arts of painting and photography to create a "highly evocative" body of work that concentrated on ice-frozen areas of the Bow River in Alberta.

[7] In her solo exhibition trace at the McClure Gallery in Montreal in 2020, she used a drone to make drawings of the land below, marked them with different media, then printed selected images on fabric and used them in lightboxes which enveloped the viewer so that he or she could experience the place for themselves.
