The work represents the challenges faced by industry and nature to co-exist.
An oil painting with graphic elements forms the base for these pieces. Charcoal drawings were then overlaid to provide a sooty, dirty texture.

- Upstream is based on dam sites and their impact on fish survival.
- Oops pieces are based on the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010
- Frequency highlights habitat loss and butterflies' diminishing populations.
The aim of this series is to invite the observer to consider both sides of these issues that affects us all.

Randall Finnerty is a visual artist who has been working for a number of years with charcoal on paper, portraying a cast of animal and human characters that are often set in wilderness environments or on the periphery of human settlements. Rooted in his experiences of growing up in northern Ontario, these images reflect upon our disjointed relationship with nature. Flying objects, highways and power lines are the tentacles that project outward from civilisation into the natural world. By placing animals among the detritus of our civilization, they bear curious witness to the things in which we engage.
