The Arctic Crisis Project: Parts 1 & 2 is a series of thirty photomontage archival quality inkjet prints on fine art paper. They deal with issues of global forces and intimate spaces, and the intersection of these public and personal narratives as one memory-filtered experience. The Arctic montage elements derive from the artist's personal photographic and written journals of January/February 1981 while traveling there as a preventative health educator. Using contemporary technology these original sources are reinvented by their editing and juxtapositions with each other, and with digital transparent image of New York City, vulnerable to flooding with melting of the Arctic ice. The photomontage process thereby reinvents meaning, evoking the simultaneity of past, present and future, the intersection of personal and public narrative, the interconnection of the whole.

The artist as a member of the Centrepointe community is pleased to have the opportunity to show her work at this popular theatre venue. Prints are available for purchase directly from the artist.
