I am a BC artist and photographer in Surrey, BC, with a background in various mediums. This series of images of an original sculpture of a robot bear in the woods at night began in 2019, with the aim to create a print for a charity auction to support the Great Bear Rainforest Research and pacificwild.org , as a creative envisioning of the future of wildlife, considering the dual processes of scientists working to create ever more life-like and complex technology, and the increasing challenges we are imposing upon wildlife and their often dwindling numbers. My aim with crafting the robot sculpture was to strike the balance between not being too cool and complex as to glorify the product, but not too clunky and campy as to be too comical- just basic robot.
