January 2013 marked the 15th Anniversary of the Great Ice Storm, a synergy of five successive ice storms that struck a narrow belt of land from Eastern Ontario to Quebec in 1998. The storm was destructive enough to cause over 30 deaths and multiple electrical blackouts. It necessitated the deployment of 15000 troops, and immobilized larger cities like Montreal and Ottawa. The ice storm also produced some of the most awe-inspiring imagery this nation has ever seen, particularly that of hydro towers collapsed like paper sculptures under the burdensome weight of ice. The collapsed tower is the inspiration behind a series of works entitled ‘RESURRECTION’. The motive behind these works (which include performance, sculpture, and video) is to entrench the collapsed tower as a poetic metaphor—part of Ontario’s cultural identity, and an expression of the sometimes ugly, sometimes angelic negotiation between natural and urban infrastructures. This work was first exhibited at Kingston’s Modern Fuel Gallery.
