Description of Work: A digitally-produced photo montage, which incorporates six archival photos from the early 20th century over a colour enhanced reproduction of an aerial map of the Fraser River.

Artist Statement: "Working River" is a photo-work that offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on their relationship to the Fraser River and surrounding landscape. In particular, the views around the Pump Station are illustrated through an aerial survey map, and contextualised with early 20th century images of the region of those industries and activities that continue to be associated with the river. more »
