1 meter by2 meters - on doorskin board
Vancouverites love their dogs and their pristine city. They
value the city's natural beauty, which makes it one of the best
cities in the world to live in. There is no dog pooh to be found
in its streets or parks. But less obviously, the city hides Vancouverites
drug problem and the plight of the sex trade workers. In this
painting, similar in style to those in the series on nationalism:"Red,
white and blue brainwashed" I chose easily recognizable
symbols: two poodles and the city's skyline. However on closer
inspection the scenery reveals the underlying tragedy of disappearing
women and the remains of drug use.
