About

Enjoy temporary public art installations in Oakville parks that feature local emerging and professional artists with strong connections to Oakville. This installation of six painted picnic tables represents sustainable lifestyle changes inspiring visitors to adopt these habits and share actions taken to move towards a more sustainable future. The artwork presents actionable changes that everyone can adopt to protect our environment for future generations. Engage with this project by visiting heatherthomsonart.ca/MAO or searching @MinorAlterations on Instagram.

Thomson's practice combines her passion for history and her desire to use a visual language. She feels conversations about the past can inspire us to reflect on the present and question our values. Environmentalism and climate change are important issues to Thomson and her artwork.
