Overflow is an installation inspired from the Grand River which borders Kitchener-Waterloo. Historically, waterways have been border markers for the birth of towns, a natural resource and a source of travel. Water itself is something that connects us all from a far reaching necessity to fear and loss. My intent is to recreate the ephemeral quality of waterways in the everyday environment, where the work oscillates between reality and illusion.
