# N O B L A N K B R A I N S 95 Daniel St-Amant's paintings begin in the streets and not the studio. To emphasize our global footprint and climate-af- fecting technologies, he places his prepared canvas on the road to capture the tire tracks of cars and trucks. Once in the studio he uses these distinct markings as a backdrop for paintings of animals. This unique process challenges the viewer to reflect on how industrialism, urbanization and the over-use of resources are changing people, animals and habitats around the world. The paintings often include found objects from nature such as twigs, leaves and moss that are mixed into the paint to create beautiful textures and a natural palette.
