Platforms: The Teachers Among Us invited emerging and mid-career artists to nominate senior artists who have mentored, taught, or profoundly influenced their artistic journey. Following a citywide nomination and adjudication process, 20 senior artists were selected to create new works to be showcases across civic art platforms. These pieces reflect the importance of mentorship and the intergenerational relationships that helped shape Vancouver’s vibrant art scene.

The work is a translucent collage of images of Coast Salish / Vancouver landmarks, including north shore mountains (the Sisters), sequoia trees on Cambie Boulevard, views from Lighthouse Park, etc. The artist's intention is to mirror the immediate site and its wider geographical context, and in particular to suggest relationships between culture and nature, revealing the symbiosis of the city with its natural environment.
