Pat Stanley uses varying perspectives to render aspects of her ongoing theme: the uneasy coexistence of the built environment with the natural world. Her Intersection series presents familiar symbols of our urban culture - concrete structures in Toronto’s landscape – transformed by future environmental impact into monumental icons of an extinct civilization. Her Crossroad series uses high-altitude views of sprawling urbanscapes to further explore her theme, bringing to mind galaxies long-dead, but giving us the light – and life – of their past.
