This piece started out as a contemplation of the Fraser Canyon landscape, where I spend as much time as possible-- but for many reasons that concept went its own way. In its place appears a wintery landscape inset with stenciled iron and an inscribed orthographic view of a wheel. And gold ore (as befits the canyon).
I want to add an acknowledgement that I have lived and worked in the unceded traditional territories of the Nlaka'pamux (people of the Fraser Canyon)... a place where a great deal of gold was mined by non-native peoples.
Additionally-- I now live in the region of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations-- places where a great deal of profit has been made by non-native peoples, at the price of immeasurable habitat destruction and climate change. That's relevant to me for work going forward, as well as for this piece.
