In_Scape
In_scape is a series of drawings that includes a 30-foot-long drawing. The drawings reference the surfaces of fossils, coral, wood, rocks, and other bits of organic debris, enlarging them in search of patterns that recall the experiences of the larger world. They explore the limitations of memory and vision, seeking what happens when "scape" is penetrated conceptually, emotionally, physically, and psychologically.
The work is informed by grand landforms, waterbodies and glaciers, geology, the painted landscape, alternative book forms, panoramas, cycloramas, myrioramas, and cosmoramas.
In_scape explores the experience of getting lost in space and drawing small, intimate spaces that are presented on the surfaces of these small organic objects.
This body of work was produced with the generous financial support of the Region of Waterloo Arts Fund.
