Riverway – E-Program / Printed Matter

Riverway is a series of paintings based on the walking path along the Courtenay River, so-called ‘shortest river in the world,’ stretching from about Lewis Park to the estuary at the Airpark. The paintings are strongly horizontal, emphasizing the flow of the river and the visual impact of human construction where the water meets the land. Jablonski-Jones is interested in the forms and patterns created by such structures, giving the river a canal-like appearance. Her works emphasize the geometry created by the linear structures and the tide lines, doubled by their reflections in the water.
