Artwork Statement
“The subject matter of this series is Wildflowers. I used a polaroid camera to capture these resilient landscapes where the strength, beauty and naturalism of wildflowers are on display. For me wildflowers represent nature at its most optimum and act as a metaphor for us in hard times. Wildflowers spring up in the middle of nowhere every year despite harsh climates, and always grow full of grace and beauty.
I then paint on the polaroid films allowing the paint to interact with the surface and pre-existing image until a balance is reached. I then scan the painted polaroids so that the paint becomes ‘fused’ to the original photograph. To me these works explore the relationship between the expressiveness of applied paint and the singular ocular point of vue of instantaneous polaroid photography and play upon the dynamic between control and chance that occurs in these two mediums.”

Artist Biography
Ottawa-based artist Heidi Conrod draws inspiration from a wide-range of sources, spanning from science, literature, nature and philosophy, to Abstract Expressionism and Surrealism. Conrod’s work joins together painting and drawing, abstraction and representation, in intuitive and improvisational ways. Through the act of layering, forms and shapes are multiplied by superimposing, and the space of the canvas expanded. Her works develop over an extended period of time, and define themselves through the process of emergence. Her work explores the nature of direct visual experience, one that involves infinite movement and thought. She has exhibited her work in galleries across Canada and the United States. Her work can be seen in numerous private and public art collections.
