COMPASS
Working from the tradition of landscape painting and using contemporary materiality as a starting point, I am recording places found along the Bonavista Peninsula presenting them as grand panoramas. Adjusting perspective, relying on the material (Belgian linen) and the familiarity of the landscape itself, the inland ponds are linked by a datum line and the relationship to each other and the cardinal points referenced to connect the individual paintings and envelop the viewer. An invitation to the viewer to see the colours of the sky, the water the land and to recognize and be reminded of stories of the sustaining nature of the landscape as it relates to belonging and community.
