Oil Painting
Dreamscapes
Still life takes flight and collides with landscape in oil paintings featuring Ontario ecosystems. I combine inside and outside environments to build new visual stories. Here, a fallow farm field in southern Ontario is the sets the scene for a race between salt & pepper shakers. These reanimated, still life nature proxies break free from their interior domestic worlds to explore the great outdoors. Like eye candy, these super sweet objects can be seen as distractions from the land depicted. Dream-like scenarios engage nostalgia for land, allow for the ways we capture the outside in our interior domestic lives, and celebrate the tenacity of the wild.
