While a photo-based artist, Toronto-based Alex McLeod has collaborated with fashion and music artists in new media, like Gord Downie, Nelly Furtado, Nike and Condé Nast. In this latest exhibition of new work, images of abstract island oases are conjured by creating delicate structures inspired by the concepts of resilience and adaptation. Viewers are beckoned to immerse themselves in the embrace of coral, flora, precious metal, water and gems, meant to reflect nature’s bounty as a testament to the fluidity of existence, renewal and transformation.
