description: This is a support paper for the MFA Thesis exhibition, Layered Landscapes: Landscape Art, Politics and Connection at the FINA Gallery at the University of British Columbia Okanagan and the group exhibition Plastic Grass at the Lake Country Art Gallery. The artwork includes large-scale collaged paintings that incorporate photographs of local forested areas, housing developments, vineyards and archived photographs of local early orchards from around the late 1800s. Repurposed building materials were also utilized in the collaged paintings as a representation of the impact our building practices and housing developments have on the local environment. Realistic, large-scale linocut relief prints of forests that have been clearcut for development accompany the paintings. The intricate, detailed prints are a sensitive contrast to the large textured, expressive paintings. Both art forms communicate human expansion and construction's detrimental effects on the environment.
