This painting is inspired by architecture and a tree from Toronto (High Park) and water/land from Cape Breton Island. My work depicts an uncertain future where cities are combined with nature. My process references opposing forces in my work. In place of conventional brushes, squeeze bottles and gravity create my paintings. Liquid paint is dripped, poured and layered. The canvas is rotated to steer the drip and fall of my paint. Architectural aspects of my work are calculated, measured and controlled. These are the precise marks of reality. Natural elements embody the spontaneous, unpredictable and more liquid impulse.
