Penelope Stewart is an artist, curator/writer and publisher whose multi-disciplinary practice encompasses expansive architectural installations/interventions, alternative photography, artist books, and works on paper. Re-current themes address notions of cultural memory, of time and space and a considered approach to the relationship between objects, architecture, gardens, landscape and the places between – places to intervene, inhabit and above all activate. Whether it has been historic sites such as Musée Barthète, a small museum in France, or a museum like the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY or the deconstruction/reconstruction of a 19 th century book of botany using cyanotype, her intentions are to create sensory spaces, haptic experiences, transforming our perceptions and possible readings of space, time and memory.

Kakabeka Falls

I saw these waterfalls for the first time in the early 1990’s with Rebecca Baird. We came to Thunder Bay to give artist talks on behalf of the Women’s Art Resource Centre. It was a nice trip and one of the high points was a visit to Kakabeka Falls. So on this trip across the country it was a must to revisit.
