Growth
The city of Calgary in Canada has been growing at an exponential rate thanks in part to a booming oil economy. The results of this changing economy have been felt particularly hard in the industry of construction where demand has skyrocketed at a rate that the industry cannot maintain pace with.
This has resulted in vast temporal landscapes of machined land barren of topsoil punctuated by light standards, electrical poles, dead-end roads, and shells of future homes. This landscape of construction ironically exhibits a post-apocalyptic aesthetic.
This series was shot with a Holga and was exhibited as 10 x 10" silver gelatin prints at the Mooncruise Gallery in Vancouver in 2006 as part of the PLASTIC group show.
Limited edition prints are available for sale.
