Scott McFarland
Transitions
Scott McFarland is a Canadian artist who studied in Vancouver, and now lives and works in Toronto. McFarland creates large-format photographs combining film and digital processes. His works present both reality and a fabricated version of reality by photographing the same space numerous times, and digitally controlling the result by layering the images together.
Transitions depicts the Canadian transition between winter and spring. In these selected images we find winter vistas that are rapidly transitioning into spring from one side of the image to the other.
In Canada the transition from winter to spring is a welcomed, and celebrated time. Spring marks the emergence from short days, and cold nights to a time of warmth, growth, rebirth and social activity. These images show our close relationship with nature, sparking thought on how the seasons directly affect our lives, and guide our daily habits.
