Uncharted Waters: Toronto's Enignamic Harbour Exhibit Launch

Picture
Harbourfront Centre’s new outdoor large-scale photographic exhibition along Toronto’s waterfront opens this summer. Canada’s most talented and exciting contemporary visual artists participate in a photographic exploration of the spectacular environmental and cultural resource that is the city harbour of Toronto.

Dianne Davis, Johan Hallberg-Campbell, Jesse Louttit, Eamon Mac Mahon, Joanne Ratajczak and Clare Samuel represent the broadest range of photographic practice, and are recognized for their photo documentary, studio and series work activities. Each artist brings his or her own unique artistic approach to this enigmatic pairing of visual arts with a complex national asset.

My photograph and the story around my Lake Ontario Crossing are unveiled at Toronto's Harbourfront Centre and my family and I will be at this invitation only event Thursday evening, June 21. The exhibit will be there until June 2013, so if you get to Toronto's waterfront in the next year, look up my photo!!!
