An exhibition with Evergon

Opening reception on Thursday, December 5th, 5 to 8 p.m.

Ottawa, Ontario

I am currently working with images I took while in the Kluane Icefield, Yukon, in 2022. I was invited to join Professor Luke Copland and his graduate students on their maintenance trip to the Icefield and glacier systems. Images I exhibited recently at the Korean Cultural Centre included the students working in the Icefields as they monitored, recorded and repaired the sensing equipment that they have installed over the years, so expanding our knowledge of climate change through their work.

With the new paintings I am again focusing on climate change, through a series of views of the Kluane Icefield. It is the world’s largest non-polar icefield, the place of origin of many retreating glaciers in the Yukon, B.C. and Alaska.

This exhibition, with long-time friend Evergon, continues my exploration of the North and climate change, with thanks to the many people I have had the good fortune to work with.

The Arctic Circle – Svalbard, Norway

I will be participating with The Arctic Circle, an arts and science residency in the Norwegian Archipelago aboard the Antigua, a triple masted tall ship. We will sail in the waters and fjords of Svalbard, Norway.

The residency gathers visual artist, writers, performing artists, architects, scientists and others from around the world, to foster collaboration and to engage in central issues of our time, particularly with the environment and climate change.

Svalbard is a very remote region of islands in the High Arctic, glacier and ice bound, and home to many polar bears. It will be an adventure in all ways!

Flight Line: Erasure
Special Commission for the Ottawa Art Gallery
Featured in the inaugural exhibition of the new OAG:
Àdisòkàmagan / Nous connaître un peu nous-mêmes / We'll all become stories:
A Survey of Art in the Ottawa-Gatineau Region.

Photo mosaic printed on aluminum, 74 images, 7ft x 10ft,  2017

The mosaic is composed of historical black and white mapping photographs archived at the National Air Photo Library interwoven with my recent colour photographs of Ottawa and Northern Canada. The aluminum references flight and the structural material of aircraft.

The images create an intertwined narrative of time, place and memory. At its centre is the role played by the now-erased Rockliffe Air Station in the growth of Ottawa and the North, from 1930 to the present.

The historical photos and my colour photographs explore early and present day locations, centred on the site of Rockliffe Air Station and the city of Ottawa They chart its growth from a small colonial capital and lumber town to the city we know today. Early and recent aerial images also trace routes north of Ottawa, which the Royal Canadian Air Force Photo Squadrons photographed in the 1940s and 1950s, providing the images for the first accurate mapping of the North.

These photographs, through northern Quebec to Hudson's Bay, Churchill, Manitoba, Cape Dorset, Nunavut and on to the Northwest Passage and Resolute Bay, follow the route of the High Arctic Relocation of 1953, when several Inuit families were moved from their more southerly homes and resettled in the High Arctic, to an extreme and barren environment, as part of government programs aimed at strengthening Canadian sovereignty in the North at the start of the Cold War.
