The Forks, 98/24. 2024, subscribed "The Grid", 32" x 38", mixed media work on plywood
The Forks is the final work in both the overhead view and Railway Lands sequences. The first overhead view works were done in Montreal c. 1989 and Railway Lands began when I was an artist in residence at Struts Artist Run in Sackville, New Brunswick in 1998. The picture represents the sacred place they call the Forks in Winnipeg. The place is called Niizhoziibean in Ojibwe. It means the two rivers. I chose this place for the last Railway Lands work, because a railway line runs through it.
