About the Item
Every spring, the Great Lakes swell with rain water and threaten to flood the Ontario shoreline. In this photograph taken by Shani Mootoo she has captured the gentle pattern of the rising waters and juxtaposed it with the hard textures of man-made materials—a concrete wall and a submerged rusting steel beam. Is this abstract image a statement on how we impact and change the landscape? This framed giclee print is editioned, 1/8.
"As we travel through the land, we inevitably become tourists in our own land, not believing that we are "there" until we arrive at the beautiful, already vetted view we recognize from mass media. In my project, I have chosen to undo this by looking down, rather than off into the distance, to the touristic vistas that have been photographed and painted again and again." Shani Mootoo
