Anna Ladizginsky, Twine | ARTonBOXES

I wanted to incorporate the Group of Seven’s use of texture, specifically, J.E.H. Macdonald’s interesting way of adding colour to emphasize certain forms in his landscapes. One of my main focuses was to create a sense of dynamic movement. Through the composition and the direction of flow seen in the branches and fish, I wanted to show how nature is connected (e.g., life cycle) and how humanity is intertwined with nature, represented by the person whose hair is entangled in the tree. The many sides of the box will be linked through the branches and show connectivity across the box.
