An Application Has Been Made

'An Application Has Been Made' reflects the irrevocable loss of prime farmland, wetlands, and wildlife habitats due to the relentless encroachment of industry and urban expansion. Can we still protect our clean groundwater and ensure our air remains safe to breathe? I believe we possess an inherent awareness that our essential resources, crucial for our survival, must be preserved for future generations.
In my work, I envision the crisp, clean taste of water, ponds teeming with life, burrowing creatures in their dens, and fruitful working farms. I celebrate the bountiful harvests that sustain us and marvel at the fragile wetland ecosystems with their diverse inhabitants. This beauty stands in stark contrast to the destruction caused by industrial activities.
As a descendant of pioneers, artists, and farmers from Southern Ontario, I share a deep connection with the province. Each piece in this collection is inspired by my personal experiences, capturing scenes from the Waterloo region, Kawartha Lakes, and rural Ontario. The narratives are shaped by my interactions with neighbors, farmers, and environmental advocates.
This exhibition continues to evolve and travel around Ontario.
