Olia Mischenko (b.1980 Ukraine) --- Ravine World 2013-14
Mischenko’s intricate drawings arise from her observations of the topographic and sociological conditions of the ravines and waterways of the highly urbanized Golden Horseshoe area of Southern Ontario. This landscape is coveted for residential development because of its picturesque shorelines. Increasingly fragile and threatened eco-systems, such natural orders have been marred by erosion and often must be reinforced to sustain human interaction. As areas where people explore and escape, gather and play, ravines embody both the urban and natural, controlled and wild, public and private.
