New Topographies: Barry Pottle and Leslie Reid
A collaborative exhibition of new works.

The fourth exhibition in the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts's series, started in 2023, of two-person exhibitions which combines a RCA member, Leslie Reid, who identifies herself as a "settler urban dweller", with a non-member, Barry Pottle, who describes himself as an "Inuk urban photographer".

Works by Leslie Reid

My work continues with photographs that I took while in the Kluane Icefield, Yukon Territory. In 2022, I was invited to join Dr. Luke Copland, professor in the Department of Geography, Environment and Geomatics, University of Ottawa, and his graduate students on their maintenance trip to the Icefield and glacier systems.

I am continuing my focus on climate change in the Canadian North, exploring not only the changing terrain as I have done in the past, but now looking into the scientific activities and research that provide critical knowledge. The underlying theme of this exhibition is ice, in images from the air and ground of glaciers as they form and flow in every direction from their source in the Kluane Icefield. The images speak to the effects of diminishing ice on the geographies of the Arctic.

I am honoured to have exhibited these new works with those of my friend, Barry Pottle.
