ABOUT

This is my node in the world-wide-web that captures the creative work I do.

My name is Lindsay Dobbin, and I’m an artist whose practice includes music, sound art, dreaming, shamanic drumming, writing and film. My work often explores personal mythology, (re)connection to nature, transformation, wonder, play, ritual and (interspecies) communication, and intends to, as Novalis said, “Give mysteriousness to the common, give the dignity of the unknown to the obvious, and a trace of infinity to the temporal.” 

Currently calling the Yukon and Nova Scotia home, I spend my time learning how to become a homesteader, exploring, listening, making things and playing easily in the deep. I recently received a grant from the Canada Council for the Arts to study shamanic drumming, so I will be spending a lot of time doing that over the coming months.

Here is my artist CV. And here is A NEW LANDSCAPE — an ongoing manifesto-of-sorts that reflects my creative practice.

Thanks for visiting.
