What Lies Beneath
This piece was done for Chili's involvement with The Raincoast Conservation Foundation's project "Art for an Oil Free Coast" in the summer of 2012. Over 50 artists travelled to the Great Bear Rainforest on the Northern Coast of British Columbia to create works collected to help protest plans to lay a bitumen oil pipeline and tanker routes through some of the wildest and most pristine terrain in the province.
