Gwaii Haanas shoreline: I am trying to see beyond the tiny bits of human interference scattered along the shoreline. My first response was to crouch in the sand and collect the many tiny pieces of plastic. There can be an absurdity to beauty. Outer space and ocean depths come together, married by their alien experience to us. Like space garbage, plastic debris finds its way into every corner of the universe. In juxtaposing these tiny hard plastic fragments onto the soft flesh of the anemone I am creating an aesthetic and curious contrast that creates ambiguity through layers of interpretation.

This piece will not be included in the physical exhibition on Granville Island but meets the quality standards of the FCA and is classified as, "Recognized Artwork."
