Six artists of the Ottawa-Gatineau Printmakers Connective present their “stories” of migration, reflecting the vast instinctual or altered journeys of animals and plants, and forced human expulsion or immigration to places of hope and opportunity. The intertwining oof these diverse migration stories reveals the growing complexity and urgency of species in motion.

Artists: Madeleine Rousseau, Deidre Hierlihy, Patricia Slighte, Beth Shepherd, Denise Lachance, Shealagh Pope

“During the pandemic, I, along with many others, became a sub-urban flĆ¢neur. My daily explorations took me to the outskirts of the city, to the near edges of the Greenbelt. Structured somewhere between the ordered parks of the city and the dark, unfathomable boreal forest, the history of this land can be read. At the western edge of Ottawa, between Corkstown Road and Moodie Drive, a debilitated wetland is being brought back to life. This is a next generation landscape ā€“ inherently human-made yet wild and generative, supporting both the local ecology and the health of the water flowing across the city. Reterritorialization in progress.

While my work seeks to reveal the striking discontinuities in this area, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority describes the science behind the changes.”

uses photography to collect and process delicate evidence which he uses to reveal meaning and sublimity in the places where we live. His images are rich portrayals of events that played out before the photographer arrived and hint at events that might happen after he departed. Each scene contains clues to existence, presence, and place, not merely documenting physical locations but places charged with significance. Jonā€™s detailed photographs, whether landscape or portrait, seek to draw the viewerā€™s eye from object to subject, shifting their view from a ā€œspace on the groundā€ to a ā€œplace in the mind.ā€

Jon was formerly an accident investigator, and he employs these skills to inform and guide his practice. He presents his conclusions using a range of printing techniques, from the subtle gradations of silver gelatin and pigment ink to post-processed video stills. Jonā€™s work is held in public and private collections within Canada and the UK.
