Russna Kaur’s What remains after bloom (2026) emerged from a three year collaboration with printmaker Jillian Ross, by a relationship grounded in intentional mentorship sustained through conversation, experimentation, and trust. Introduced to Ross in 2023, Kaur traveled to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in the winter of 2024 and again in the winter of 2026 to work directly with Ross at her studio.
What remains after bloom, extends the language of Kaur’s paintings through an eleven colour, multi plate photopolymer process, chine collé, intricate cut paper components and hand drawn marks by Kaur. The edition echoes her interest in layered surfaces, shifting structures, and the ways identity and memory hide and reveal themselves over time. Kaur’s layered material and method become a metaphor for lived experience and the accumulation of generational knowledge, memories, and unseen structures that shape and inform us.
“Layering becomes a way to represent time, growth, contradiction and transformation. It is a visual language that insists the surface is never the whole story.” - Russna Kaur
The works of Russna Kaur, Elizabeth McIntosh and Gathie Falk have been brought together in the 2026 Spring Portfolio to consider the intersections across generations through mentorship, influence, and time. Each limited edition in this release embodies a distinctive approach to making and examines the lived and inherited relationships that have helped shape it.
Together, this collection invites us to consider how knowledge is shared across generations through shared practices, conversations, inherited ideas, and the unfolding of time.
