In Search of Bearings
\”In Search of Bearings\”, a series of 10 paintings on sailing navigation charts, is about the psychosocial uncertainty of finding our way through changing corridors of places and identities. Sequences of used and now cancelled nautical maps of the St. Lawrence Seaway are reinvented using this narrative theme. Images of stationary wrapped boats and melting glaciers are visually connected by embellished nautical symbols of water levels. The geologically carved Seaway connects our interior to contemporary globally rising ocean levels caused by melting polar glaciers.
