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! Photo credit: Sarah Gerats April 28^th - September 22^nd, 2018 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.

Canada C3 is the celebratory Canada 150 Signature Project organised by Students on Ice; it is an epic 150-day sailing journey from Toronto to Victoria via the Northwest Passage that will connect Canadians from coast to coast to coast.
