About The Artwork
"Archipelago" is a 48 x 192" oil painting created on 4 pieces of 1/2" plywood supported on the back by two, separate 48" x 96" square metal tube frames. The painting was done while I was attending a residency in Fogo Island, Newfoundland, working in the iconic 'black box' studio designed by Todd Saunders. The painting was in fact, done directly onto the plywood boards that had been added to the walls to provide smooth work surfaces. "Archipelago" is partially inspired by the natural whorles within the plywood which reminded me of the tidal pools and dramatic geology I'd witnessed around the island. The painting connects to the ongoing inquiry into 'boundlessness' which I have within my practice, yet here it is seen through the lens of the macro-micro magnificence of the Newfoundland topography and geology: Fogo Island is substantially a mass of rock sitting in the Atlantic ocean off of the East Coast of Canada, and it also presents a compelling and varied archipelago on which tidal pools, cracked and variegated volcanic outcrops, and basalt mountains insert themselves across a time-worn landscape resulting from eons of seismic upheaval. "Archipelago" is an investigation and homage to this world rendered as an expansive, contemporary painting. Availability Note: The painting is on rental until June 22nd, 2018 after which it is part of a solo show October 5-21st, 2018 in Toronto. Following that it is fully available.
