This body of work documents the construction of Ottawa’s Light Rail Transit system and the changing landscapes produced by its expansion. The paintings focus on stations, bridges, tunnels, scaffolding, construction paths, cranes, sound barriers, and other temporary structures encountered along the developing LRT corridor.
Working from observations and photographs made during the construction process, the paintings examine the visual character of a city in transition. Familiar landscapes are interrupted by large-scale construction, rerouted pathways, temporary barriers, and unfinished structures. Through painting, these sites become records of a particular moment in Ottawa’s urban development while also exploring how infrastructure reshapes the experience and perception of the city.
