Artwork > Vanishing Point

With increasing temperatures brought about by climate change, fires in our local area, our natural environment is under threat. This work references the effect we have on our environment, and how the way we interact with nature can have consequences. This is a narrative work, a collaged landscape of the Okanagan depicting water, trees, animals. Upon further viewing through an AR app, the image comes alive and shows the landscape changing overtime due to possible drought, fires and other consequences of the changing climate, showing the landscape degrading and burning.

The AR work was created for the exhibition, Ebb and Flow at the Kelowna Art Gallery from November 1, 2024 to March 2025, organized by the Arts Council of the Central Okanagan (ARTSCO). We then took that same project, and created a longer animation that was projected on the side of the Kelowna Community Theatre, and created stencils to create light projections along the Artwalk in downtown Kelowna, as part of Light Up Kelowna, a project by ARTSCO.

This is a collaborative piece between Shauna Oddleifson, Joanne Gervais and Alison Beaumont.
