OV-CAOS Ottawa Valley Community Arts

Shaw Woods

ON NOW AT SHAW WOODS…

Nesting   |   Taking Flight

Shaw Woods has partnered with Ottawa Valley Community Arts to host a series of art installations along the trails of Shaw Woods. New installations will be added every few weeks between January and April, 2021. Two installations are on now: Nesting and Taking Flight.

The installations reference human relationships to the natural environment and explore the comfort, inspiration and connection that the natural world can bring. The installations are designed to inspire story telling and memories that connect us all together in these times when many of us are experiencing life in isolation.

LOCATION: The installations are located along the Johnny’s Lookout Trail on the east side of Shaw Woods.

Tanya has always been a gatherer, collecting and taking in objects, moments and memories. She uses clear glass in combination with natural and found objects to express and reflect her thoughts, experiences and questions about the world we live in and who we are. www.tanyalyons.ca
