Windows of Beaulieu

“Windows of Beaulieu” was part of the “Formed by Sand” group exhibition at the Lougheed House from June 21st to September 30th, 2018. “Windows of Beaulieu” reveals the path of the original sandstone of the Lougheed House, showing its source at the former Butlin quarry site. Investigating local places imbued with these historical traces has always fuelled my art practice.  The video captures a sequence of scenes of the former Butlin quarry site overlaid by images of the stained-glass windows that are located inside the house. From my perspective, these stained-glass windows evoke nature; calling to its origins, and harkening to the earth it came from. This work hoped to shed light on the intrinsic relationship between natural and built environments and the tenuous line that links them.
