Every issue, Capital locates a guest editor to fill our mash section. This monthí¢â‚¬â„¢s guest curators are Leila Pourtavaf and Andria Hickey. They drew their inspiration for the Fictioní¢â‚¬â„¢s issue by examining the relationship between nature and its representation in contemporary art. They have incorporated the work of various Canadian artists including Sarah Anne Johnson, Will Gill and Crystal Beard.

Nature has had a long history as a popular subject in artistic production. Many have argued that representations of nature in art are closely linked to the social perception of the natural world during a given historical period. In recent years, concerns over environmental realities such as climate change are reflected in representations of nature in contemporary art.
