Artist Statement

"A strong horizon is the starting point from which the view is deconstructed, the fragments reassembled to compel the viewer to experience the power and the complexity of our environment. Underlying an intrinsic reference to environment is a conscious effort to utilize formal elements of painting and drawing (mark making, colour, composition) so each painting is resonant on a visual level.

In this series, the wilderness and expanse of earth and sky are juxtaposed with the inclusion of the “human presence” in the form of populated areas. These areas are portrayed in the paintings as minute in comparison to the natural environment as a deliberate reversal of the urban attitude that our human presence is foremost." - Arlene Wasylynchuk
