Description of Work:
Metamorphosis is a mural 7.5 feet high by 155 feet long, covering two separate segments of the outside property wall of the Mitchell Island Cement Manufacturing Plant. The imagery painted is the transformation (metamorphosis) of specific native plants into maps representing the territory.
Artist Statement:
Nature changes and transforms into the territory, and then the territory gives back into nature. Interconnected and woven, this mural makes visual these essential cycles. It encompasses both the historical, existing and shifting relationships with place. Metamorphosis honours the cycles of nature into place and back to nature and metaphorically the transformations of industry.
