2018–2021, The Legislature has no dome, Unity.
On one side, the Legislature stands without its dome — the official architecture stripped of its crown, the civic ideal shown without its costume. On the other side, the opera begins: the Grande Stage Democracy, where politics performs itself with the confidence of a Hollywood franchise and the subtlety of a fog machine.
I painted these works between 2018 and 2021, inviting dozens of participants on the 30th Alberta Legislature grounds to add a renewal of flowers along the base of ruins — what may be described as a destroyed building under an apocalyptic sky. Their hands turned the rubble into a garden, a quiet, collective refusal to let the stage collapse without leaving something living at its feet.
