Fractal Vernacular

O Open editions

“As it confronts existing Canadian traditions directed at Landscape, Forbes’ work takes up the Group of Seven’s idealization of Nature to invoke the sublime in lieu of addressing immediate reality. Forbes uses that tension to propel an exploration of memory and place through depictions of vernacular architecture. Technically perfect surfaces and digital symmetries invite the viewer into a complication of the relationships that link home to region to landscape.“
– Matt Macintosh, Curator, Carmichael Canadian Landscape Exhibition, Orillia Museum of Art & History
