All Roads

Artist

Alex Thompson

Description

All Roads depicts the demolition of the annex building at the Alberta Legislature in Edmonton in 2021. Originally built in 1951, the modernist building had been plagued by structural issues and high maintenance costs. This print obscures the specific identifiable features of the building, examining the underlying materials and cycles of architectural lifespans that are common across the built environment.
Hand-printed from a copper plate with oil-based ink, on Hahnemuhle Copperplate rag paper.
