One Earth Golden Dawn 2010 One Earth Blue Waters 2010
Borders are artificial lines that disregard the natural movements of people, animals plants, water and air. Crossing the border from Canada to the U.S. in the mid-1800s didn't make Quebecois, Acadians and Metis, Americans. Across the U.S. Canadian Border tribes from Mik'maq, Abenaki, Mohawk, Anishinaabe, Lakota, Blackfeet to the Northwest Coast continue to assert their land is on both sides.
Today hi-speed internet makes it possible to communicate, cooperate, share and collaborate with people across borders all over the world.
This series of art titled "Brings Water to Desert" started in early 2010 when I saw some photographs of Niagra Falls by Yotanka Coicou who lives in Quebec Province. Yotanka graciously gave me permission to combine some of her photographs with my own photographs and art from different times and places in an alchemy of light and time art.
These paintings combine the light of the southeast with the water of the northeast to create a kinetic connection between them.
