Text blurb:
I have made my own web accessible VR art exhibit. It is a recreation of a rural outdoor space, and coinciding land art. I have made it so anyone can see it without having to drive anywhere! It is recommended to view on a larger screen other than a phone. You can click and drag to pan around in any direction.
Over the course of the pandemic, I have been visiting sites of industrial decay across rural eastern Nova Scotia, and creating ephemeral sculpture art with what I find.
The art work presented is called “Invasive Species 2.0” .
The location that I have modelled is from a section of expropriated land. 13 years ago, 10 families in Guysborough County were made to leave their homes to make way for the construction of a proposed shipping port. The port was never built, and the land sits vacant to this day. But Traces of the lives it uprooted still remain. I created an artwork inspired by these traces.
Thank you to the Canada Council of the Arts in helping make this project possible!
