CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION
A photographic installation, of mounted prints on aluminum, presented as a mosaic. The installation regroups NAPL black and white aerial mapping images from the 1930’s to 2002, and the artist's own colour photographs, both aerial and ground, of what remains. The artist states in her reference material: "The images in the resulting mosaic create an intertwined narrative of time and memory with place, and reveal a long and proud period of growth and maturation in Ottawa’s, and Canada’s, history."
