ONE LAKE 2006-2009

Acrylic on color lazer prints on paper on canvas, 5 x 5 in, and 5 x 7 in. 3 frosted plastic storage bins.

This project started shortly after I no longer taught in the sub-arctic community (James Bay West Coast). I taught there for two years. Personal goods to and from the community, were transported in plastic containers and suitcase on bush planes. There is no road to the community.  My knowledge of land in southern Ontario, was also carried with me.

This artwork, carries on from my Lake Series, 1999.

The frosted plastic containers that make up the installation hold the dozens of paintings of One Lake, 2005-2009.  As shown, installed at the Art Gallery of Peterborough Triennial, 2012, only a few paintings were hung on the wall.
