Canola Fields
15 Aug-14 Sept 2025
Rapeseed is a bright-yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae, cultivated for its oil-rich seed, which naturally contains appreciable amounts
of mildly toxic erucic acid. In the 1960s Canadian scientists used traditional plant breeding to practically eliminate two undesirable components of rapeseed — erucic acid from the oil and glucosinolates from meal — to create “Canola,” a contraction of “Canadian” and “ola.”
Here in York, we are surrounded by fields of golden Canola flowers from late July to September. The flowers are a blaze of colour en masse.
This exhibition is a tribute to those amazingly colourful fields by a number of artists who are familiar with this glorious sight.
