Fusion Series
Series Overview
Concept:
The Fusion series explores the integration of painted canvas sections within an abstract metal framework.
Development:
I started this series as a way to revisit my interest in painting. My goal was to bridge my passion for both sculpture and painting, leading me to explore how metal sculpture could be seamlessly integrated into a painted composition. Traditionally, I had viewed paintings as single, two-dimensional planes, but I challenged myself to incorporate painting within a three-dimensional framework. This experimentation resulted in a style I call sculptural paintings, with Vicissitude as the pioneering piece. My vision first materialized through the creation of Vicissitude, a multi-plane, multi-perspective painting housed within an abstract sculptural framework.
Following this, I developed the Fractured Landscape series, which captures four distinct regional landscapes of British Columbia: the Lower Mainland, Northern B.C., the Coastal region, and the Interior. These sculptural paintings highlight the defining features of each region—for example, the dramatic verticality of Northern B.C.’s mountains or the striking red and yellow hues of the Interior in the fall. The works aim to capture the essence of these landscapes without being overly representational.
