Inv: 2020.01.01

Location: Everglades National Park - Headquarters MIA

As someone who grew up in Canadian forests, the overwhelming concentration of life in the Florida everglades was exhilarating and engaging. Recently, I used photographs I took while in the Everglades to create large-scale murals of Florida forests on the walls of City Hall Art Gallery in Ottawa. This exploration of the landscape at a distant remove was deeply interesting to me. I continued this project by creating a new series of works rooted in an intimate experience of the Everglades wilderness. The goal of my residency was to deepen my knowledge of the places I fell in love with during my initial visit to the park. I would like to create large-scale works enriched by research into the biology, ecology and history of the landscape.
