Liquid Mountains

Liquid Mountains is a series of hybrid photograph-paintings investigating material metamorphosis and the fabrication of history along the Fraser River. The photographic components are cyanotypes (solar blueprints) from locations related to the transformation of the natural world into economic “resources,” including a former brick factory, an abandoned fur-trading post, and a salmon cannery. The painted components are made of clay from these same sites, referencing deep time and non-human agents of transformation.
