For Love

Justin Wonnacott

BIRTH YEAR 1950
BIRTH PLACE Belleville, Ontario

How do you see your city changing? For Love tackles some of Photographyer Justin Wonnacott's favorite subjects: Ottawa's history and everyday urban spaces. In this digital photo-montage originally commissioned for the O-Train's Bayview station in 2001, Wonnacott juxtaposes an image of graffiti that had been painted over while the station was being built, with a red flag from Parliament Hill and paper birds from above his daughter's bed. The work reflects on what is lost through urban development, from artistic outlets to natural habitats.
