We are thrilled to present INFERNO, a new body of three dimensional work
Leslie Hossack’s latest series, INFERNO, exposes objectively measurable aspects of climate change. As with her previous projects, INFERNO is research-base. Here, Hossack examines critical issues such as hazardous air quality, unprecedented wildfires, scorching temperatures, rising sea levels and melting Arctic ice. INFERNO is data driven. Although these works are abstract, they are accurate representations of scientific records.
“Earth, Air, Fire and Water” is the title of a group of acrylic sculptures in the INFERNO collection.
Wildfire is a three-dimensional piece composed of bars representing the area burned by wildfires in Canada during the worst 25 years of the last 40. The highest bar represents 2023, when wildfires burned more than double the area of any year since 1983.

“Smoke” is the title of this suite of six pieces in the INFERNO collection. These images are a response to the hazardous air quality experienced in the summer of 2023, when smoke from Canadian wildfires drifted across the country and around the world. The Fine Particulate Matter Readings represented in these six works were recorded in Downtown Ottawa over a three-day period in June 2023.
