Artist Statement:
“BRUSHED” FRANKLIN, Theresa
2005
The stunning endangered
ecosystem of the South
Okanagan “hosts one of the
largest concentrations of
species at risk (over 100 rare
plants and over 300 rare
invertebrates) in Canada and
is of international importance
(www.desert.org).” Domestic
animals [Protein Plurge] and
us [Shoulderscape, Bromely
Rock (an indistinct swimmers
back)] stress the ecosystem
beyond its tolerance limit,
resulting in degradation of
the land, compacting of the
substrate making rooting
difficult.
Desert transition zones have
very delicate ecosystems; it
is hard to define the desert
border. Firm edges separate
sharply the form from its
surrounding environment
contrasting the artist’s
hard-line esthetic and the
deserts unclear, unconfined
character. As is evident in
her “Bin 50°N - 49°N and :07
other minutes” production
line.
The “BRUSHED” series is to be
taken in immediately, a
reflection of how the work was
produced and how fast its
subject may be gone. Ideally
viewed against the superficial
monochromatic desert, where
you will recognize the
explosive colours unique to
the lush Okanagan.
