Notes:
Margaretha Bootsma's works are explorations of our human connection to the landscape. Here, a landscape of mists and ambiguities contains many familiar references, such as trees and sky, which, except for the three dark poles, dissolve into a complex of allusive forms.

The proceeds of sale from this lot are being donated to the City Opera Vancouver.

Please note: this work is unframed.
Most realised prices include the Buyer's Premium of 18-25%, but not the HST/GST Tax.
