DREAM CITY is an ongoing collaborative project with Devin Babineau and Fern Long that explores the interconnections between humans, cities and environmental change. We work with repurposed industrial materials to construct abstracted forms inspired by architecture and urban spaces.
The result is a playful investigation of how humanity will need all of its incredible powers of ingenuity to respond to a rapidly changing world. Dream City imagines how we will reinvent ourselves, by using the abundance of materials currently considered as 'throw-aways' to carve out a new existence..
The first Dream City installation was shown at Xchanges Gallery, Victoria, in November 2020. A second iteration was installed in two private front yards in Victoria for the 2021 Terrain Biennale. In 2023 we travelled to Vernon, BC for a residency and exhibited abstract forms and images at slide Room Gallery and arc.hive artist run centre, both in Victoria. Dream City has received funding from BC Arts Council.
