Title: "Experience Canada: Canadian Experience"

Artist: Dyan Marie

Exhibition year: 2009

Dyan Marie’s  work "Experience Canada: Canadian Experience"  explores the idea of immigration fostered by the allure of the imagined Canadian landscape. Silhouettes of inner city shop owners, posed in front of their storefronts, are in-filled with forest and lake landscapes. These city/forest – forest/city image exchanges are installed as billboards in the pastoral and forest settings of The Tree Museum and as hanging street light banners along Bloor Street near Lansdowne Ave. in Toronto”.
