Marina Roy uses both natural and processed materials to create a 25 meter mural and tree fountain that stands out in contrast to the glass and concrete office towers in downtown Vancouver. Repurposing a tree salvaged after the 2015 windstorm into a fountain, surrounded by a mural painted with bitumen and latex paint, Roy’s installation Your Kingdom to Command speaks to transformation in nature, largely due to human industry.
Organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery and curated by Diana Freundl, Associate Curator, Asian Art. Marina Roy: Your Kingdom to Command is the thirteenth installation in the Gallery's Offsite series.
