Graphic art symbolizes growth, change

Growth and change were on Jordan Eveland’s mind as she was creating her piece for the hoarding that surrounds the Village Green construction site.
Her’s is the next piece of local original art commissioned for the wall and is scheduled to go up by the end of this month.
Since the beginning of the quarantine period, Eveland found peace and purpose in landscaping the yard of her Creemore home.
It was the newly planted honeysuckles that inspired the highly graphic pattern that she has painted on a large panel to be installed on the wall. The result is a simple and highly graphic silhouette of the leafy vine, reminiscent of the textile patterns Eveland is drawn to.
To her, it symbolizes the potential of what a plant like a vine will develop into, much like what is going on behind the hoarding that surrounds the Village Green construction site.
“It’s about the anticipation of what is going to happen,” said Eveland.
She said there is change happening at the park but also in the village, with new houses being built and more people moving in.
Two more paintings are slated for display in the coming months with pieces still to come from Jessica Tamlin and Peter Mitchell.
The paintings will be auctioned off at a later date. All proceeds will go to the Creemore Community Foundation and will be used to fund the construction of the Village Green and support other activities in the community.
