Infrastructure is everything. Without it, we who live in cities cannot thrive and survive. Some infrastructure is very problematic, polluting the air and endangering our future – think coal power plants and 24-lane highways. Other infrastructure is graceful and amazing, co-existing with nature.
One wind turbine such as those shown here can produce more than 6 million kilowatt hours of electricity in a year, enough to supply 1,500 average households. I use these environmental “still lifes” to celebrate southern Ontario’s wind power industry. The layered images show movement and strength.
For the last month, I’ve been staying in an enormous painter’s studio in Woodstock, near the centre of Cape Town, South Africa. It’s been great to escape the Toronto winter, and the mountain view is very inspiring.
An accident last winter bruised my eyelids and reminded me how fragile and miraculous human vision is. Sometimes what we see, or don’t see, cannot be replicated by the camera lens. I’ve started working on a new series that captures passing landscapes through a reverse panning technique.
