Landscape is about place, and all places have a history, a past and present. My work explores the interaction of past and present, when preservation meets innovation, and when heritage is assimilated within a modernized or restructured environment. Kitchener-Waterloo is my space and it is in the process of renewal and transformation. Although this region has lost its industrial base, the places remain through retrofitting, rebuilding or adapting to be sustained. Even though these spaces and issues are regional, they also reflect what is happening beyond my home. I conflate these issues through painting, rebuilding and rethinking the spaces around me: I pour, scrape and drag materials across the surface to change, and likewise rebuild a painted landscape that mirrors what is happening in my region. read more
