The intention of this artwork is to grapple with the body, memory and Indigenous knowledge with in a large urban city space such as Toronto. The installation will consist of two large scale painted archival maps on the walls of the gallery and will have two projectors showing images overlay of the paintings. There will be sound narrative that will tell different stories of each place. The artwork will investigate which bodies are seen, heard and presence in a completing colonial landscape such as Canada. There is a particular ability to view the landscape allowing one to ‘see’ the layers of knowledge buried in the land and to hear the environment, which sings the song of the transformation of time, space and memory. The land has the ability to retain memories of significant value as it has bore witness spanning millennia to the individual events and occurrences that have shaped our surroundings as Indigenous people.
