Study of a Lost Shoreline, 2016-2018

Study of a Lost Shoreline is a contribution to River Relations: A Beholder’s Share of the Columbia River, a two-year interdisciplinary artistic research project undertaken by a collective of artists and poets. River Relations responds to the extensive damming of the Columbia River and the upcoming renegotiation of the Columbia River Treaty. A written piece about the context of the project can be found in Shoring here.

Study of a Lost Shoreline is comprised of 170 12” x 12” individual drawings that were produced using silt from the Columbia’s Rosevelt, Wanapum, McNarry and Kinbasket reservoires. This project was most recently exhibited in Confluences: River rights/ Rites de rivière, at the SBC Gallery, Montreal QC in 2022. The exhibition text can be found here.
