Artist’s Statement: The “abolition” series is a group of drawings which have been created watching the hillsides of the Okanagan. Thinking about erosion, specific landscapes and changing of perspective within those landscapes has provided a softer, stranger view of the world.
There is a quirky twist to these pieces, and I sometimes have thought that I was creating alien contour maps of the Okanagan hills.
