Glenbow Museum with Edward Burtynsky



The aim of this show was to provide multiple entry points to Burtynsky's work by showing images next to text provided by the owners of the work. Here I have images of my father and mother looking at work that held some draw. Dad is a photographer/glassblower and has followed Burtynsky's photography for years.

Mom is in front of a photograph of Nickel Tailings outside of Sudbury ON. Mom was born and raised very close to the site of the photo. There was a sense of intellectual entanglement as mom traveled through her memories of INCO mines and growing up in Sudbury around the very pollution that makes these flawless photos carry such impact.
