Vanishing Point

Vanishing Point is a collaged, animated landscape of the Okanagan exploring climate change's impact on local nature. Combining hand-drawn, felted, crocheted, and photographic elements with evocative sound, it depicts water, trees, and animals as the environment degrades through drought and fire.

With increasing temperatures brought about by climate change and fires in our local areas, our natural environment is under threat. This work references the effect we have on our environment and how the way we interact with nature can have consequences.

This is a narrative work, a collaged landscape of the Okanagan depicting water, trees, and animals that come alive and shows the landscape changing over time due to possible drought, fires and other consequences of the changing climate, showing the landscape degrading and burning.

The elements that make up the animated piece are hand drawn images, felted and crocheted pieces, digital drawing, along with photographs that are collaged, staged and brought to life. The sound reflects and embodies the animation representing the cycles of hope and disappear in climate change.
