Item Description
Untitled, 2018-23, laser engraved acrylic, ink, collage, 16 in x 20 in
I have been focussing on the image of a dragonfly wing and exploring it through different processes and materials. To me, the subject is like a portal towards the intricacies of ecology and biodiversity, towards layers of resilience and vulnerability. Light, colour and optics are part of the exploration – reflections and transparency play their part. This piece was part of a suite of works and a solo exhibition titled "they were still there, last time" in Montreal in 2018. I recently reworked this artwork by simplifying and improving it.
Untitled, 2018-23, acrylique gravé au laser, encre, collage, 16 po x 20 po
Je travaille l’image d’une aile de libellule que j’explore à travers différents processus et matériaux. Pour moi, ce sujet représente un portail vers les complexités de l’écologie et de la biodiversité, vers la superposition de la résilience et de la vulnérabilité. La lumière, la couleur et l’optique font partie de cette exploration — les reflets et la transparence jouent leur rôle. Cette pièce faisait partie d’une suite d’œuvres et d’une exposition solo intitulée « they were still there, last time » [toujours là, la dernière fois] à Montréal en 2018. J’ai récemment retravaillé cette œuvre pour la simplifier et l’améliorer.
