67 Coreen Zerr<br />

Time and Nature Wait For No Man, 2008<br />

Coreen Zerr (Nanaimo, BC)<br />

Cotton and threads; thread painted, embellished. 41.5" x 55.5"<br />

This work was inspired by the pine beetle epidemic<br />

threatening our forests. Threat alters our perception<br />

of time, transforming nature's progress from a<br />

leisurely unfolding of beauty into an apocalyptic<br />

rush from the past and present to a future of<br />

destruction. It is an imaginative vision of what MAY<br />

be, not what WILL be; the new growth symbolizes<br />

hope and capacity for change, which can contain the<br />

present and reconfigure the future.
