Bow Cirque, 1902

The work here is about shifts in landscape over time, partially due to human intervention and partially based on the effects of water and ice each year. ‘Light through water’ examines erosion through river channels, showing abstract marks that mimic water basin landmarks from above. ‘Bow Cirque, 1902’is an older image taken from the Archives of the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies (photo by Byron Harmon), redrawn carefully in high detail, and then paired in ‘This is now Bow Glacier Falls’ with my own photo imagery, re-photographed in the same spot over 120 years apart in time. The Bow Glacier is the headwaters of the Bow river, which supplies much of Calgary’s water supply and other parts of southern Alberta.
