Disappearing Landscapes
Investigations within Last Chance Tourism and how these actions facilitate natural destruction
Disappearing Landscapes: Kepler Track Forest (2019)
Lithography on Paper 15 inches x 22 inches This series addresses our ability to over consume without realizing the consequences until it is too late. With an increasing demand for product comes an increasing need for materials. This interactive piece is made to fade away over time. As individuals help themselves to a print to carry with them and enjoy, over time, the pile of prints will begin to fade, representing the deterioration of our forests with increased travel and exploration into these pristine areas. |
Disappearing Landscapes: Melting Canadian Arctic (2019)
Vinyl and Acrylic
36 inches x 48 inches
What originated as a small 8.5 inches x 11 inches layered silkscreen on frosted mylar has evolved into an interactive sculpture, bringing both form and life to the work. When on display viewers are encouraged to walk around and throughout the series of melting icebergs, interacting with each phase of melt individually and as a whole. This creates a dialogue between the viewer and the work, evoking thoughts and conversation about what our presence within our arctic landscape is really doing to the natural elements that exist there.

Atmospheric Toxicity
Investigations into the long lasting, harmful presence of volatile substances humans are continually contributing to within the atmosphere
Atmospheric Toxicity (1 through 5), (2018)
Silkscreen on Paper
18 inches x 25 inches
This work was an investigation into the harmful elements integrating themselves into our atmosphere through the release of volatile substances. Cars, manufacturing plants, machinery etc. all release chemicals into the air, in such quantities it effects our own as well as other living creatures ability to breath properly. Through the use of digitally manipulated and colour distorted clouds I intend to bring attention to the unnatural substances accumulating in our atmosphere.

Natural Interactions
Investigations into whether or not the human body can integrate itself naturally within the environment
River People, (2017)
15 inches x 22 inches Drypoint on Paper This series looked into the relationship between human individuals and their interaction within the natural environment. Investigations were made into whether or not individuals could exist in harmony with the environment or if they were an intrusive factor. By integrating the figure within to the river a cohesive interaction is created, demonstrating that with peace and simplicity humans can exist amongst nature, and within nature without causing harm |
