Portfolio: Shadows
Upcoming Exhibition
August - October 2021 Joint show with Emily Phillips Art, Shadow Ecology, AX: The Arts and Culture Centre of Sussex, NB
Shadows, consists of seven flameworked borosilicate glass wall sculptures to represent the seven ecosystems of Canada. Shadows draws attention to the disappearing ecosystems of Canada that are quickly becoming shadows on our landscapes due to human disturbance and climate change. As Canadians we identify with the ecosystems around us. Our existence as Maritimers is attached to the fiddleheads we pick along the rivers, the North Atlantic Right Whale that visits our ocean and our rich Acadian Forests, but the biodiversity in these ecosystems is disappearing. Shadows allows the viewer to recognize that by losing these crucial ecosystems, we are loosing ourselves.
