Scope and content
Vertical painted image on a wood panel with a glued printed image. The painting at the top (about one-third of the painting) is black. The rest of the painting is yellow and grey forming the moon’s surface. The moon is rounded and creates a semi circle within the black paint. On the moon’s surface there are three craters near the semi circle. These craters have lines stemming from them for a few cm. Closer to the bottom of the painting, somewhat off centre to the left, there is a printed black and white image of a building (G building). The building appears to be a four storey made of bricks and has many windows. On one side of the building, there is a tower with a pointed roof and stairs at the bottom leading up to an arched entrance. The rest of the roof is slated towards to the sides and had multiple chimneys.

This piece was part of an Instagram supported digital exhibit alongside other pieces by Ward and Gary Blundell. Blundell and Ward run a joint artist collective/Instagram account @hotspurstudio. During the fall of 2016, they posted a series of 24 images inspired by the history and changing landscape of the Lakeshore Grounds.
The artist’s statement/caption of this piece: We understand now that the word “Lunatic” was derived from a belief that the moon affected a person’s mental state; ancient cultures based many rituals on the phases of the moon. It’s a word with a meaning that has transformed many times much like the Lakeshore grounds.
Victoria Ward was born in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. A painter primarily, Ward still writes and contributes to catalogues, cultural journals and digital sites across Canada. She lives near Algonquin Park in a log cabin with her partner Gary Blundell.
