Artist's Description
In the Urban Extractions Series. One of the whimsical scenes of intense colours and textures found at the abandoned Westwood Theatre in my Toronto neighbourhood. I think this has been demolished this past June 2013.
Toronto is so full of cranes building condos. A large tract of land like this is quite the scene with its eerie empty parking lot filled with weeds. The Bloor Street, Kipling Avenue and Dundas Street West interchanges and the Westwood Theatre lands are to be redeveloped by the Build Toronto agency, starting in 2014 into a mixed-use development.

About Marilyn Cornwell
Curiosity and wonder are precious. The visual world gives us a lot of opportunity to experience these. I look for something new to discover and explore in the ordinary. Typically it is a flower, a garden, rust or peeling paint - I am an opportunistic photographer who likes spontaneity and discovery. I am a gardener and photographer living in Grimsby in the heart of the Niagara Peninsula, amongst vineyards and orchards, and of course, the great Niagara Escarpment which makes Niagara Falls. I'd like my photographs and digital art to help you see in ways not seen before so that you experience a sense of wonder and have an enriched understanding of this world - this precious planet.
