"I've been working around this topic for around 11 years now. My ideas are really developing in terms of this relationship between humans and nature, and how we approach this ecological, environmental condition," Al Qadiri told The Art Newspaper earlier this year. "Fossil fuels were maybe a personal entry into this because of my background, but now I'm having more, let's say, evolved ideas about humans, beasts, bioengineering and different things."
"Public Art Fund is committed to sharing dynamic contemporary art with the public, and this co-commission with Lassonde Art Trail enables us to broaden the audience for Al Qadiri's exciting work," Melanie Kress, the PAF's senior curator, said in a statement. "Both our organisations believe art is an essential building block for great public spaces and that the dynamic relationship between nature and the built environment is a valuable inspiration for artists."
