ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I knew I wanted to make a piece to honour the polar bears when I heard a CBC/Radio-Canada interview with naturalist James Raffan about his book Ice Walker. In it, he tracks the lives of a fictional polar bear named Nanu and her two cubs as they navigate a melting Arctic landscape with its rising temperatures and vanishing sea ice. This was in many ways a painful piece to make. Each time I approached it I had to look into that mother's eyes and think about her martyrdom to human consumption and carelessness. This year has made it more apparent than ever how connected we all are when it comes to our health as a planet. In spite of these heavy thoughts, I made this piece quite light and open, reflecting my hope that we will make a better future for this little family and for all of us.

SHIPPING AND RETURNS
Delivery Time:

Typically 5-7 business days for domestic shipments, 10-14 business days for international shipments.

In my art practice, I am encountering what poet/scholar Jan Zwicky describes as "our actual experience of meaning, those times when our breath has been taken away, when our vision has been altered," and attempting to share those experiences and give form to a feeling, or a gestalt - an experience of a whole, expressing and celebrating not-fully-conscious processes and perceptions, I work mostly in collage and mixed media but dabble also in text and image juxtapositions and illustrative styles.
