For Composition 1002 Algonquin Study, the piece offers an in-depth look into the creative process behind Lesley Luce’s larger, handmade works. Designed digitally, it acts as a blueprint for evolving ideas around composition, colour, and structure, laying the foundation for future pieces. The background features a greyscale map of Algonquin Park’s canoe routes, grounding the work in the park’s geography.

This study features profiles of Algonquin Park’s lakes, camping icons, historic photos, and details inspired by the Group of Seven, including Tom Thomson’s oil painting Evening, Canoe Lake (1915). Striking contrasts of purple and green tones evoke the park’s spirit, connecting Luce’s process to Canada’s artistic and natural heritage.
