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.

On Our Way

Anne and I left as planned and headed towards Sault St. Marie.

We watched as the landscape began to change and soon we were at the point where huge rock formations, excavated to build the road, flanked the highway.

With each turn of the road the formations became more beautiful. Deep greys, charcoal, pinks and whites, an abstract display revealing time.

Along the same roads were patches of lupins blooming and at one point we came across a baby bear eating berries. I am sure the mother was not far away.
