With forecasts we\u2019re told to heed warnings\u2014hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. Tara Cooper\u2019s Weather Wise assembles a compendium of weather lore and superstitions from cloud nines to fair weather friends to silver linings. It is the next chapter in her ongoing series\/alter ego Weather Girl, a project that mixes an amateur\u2019s enthusiasm for meteorology with found objects, video and print.<\/p>\n

Beneath the rubric of Canadian Nature, Cooper\u2019s observations combine fieldwork and footwork moving from the amateur ornithologist, to the idea of north, to her most recent study involving the language of weather\u2014the statistical forecast versus the personal encounter. Cooper received her Master of Fine Arts from Cornell University in 2008, specializing in the disciplines of print, film and installation. She is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Fine Arts at the University of Waterloo.<\/p>\n
