mbanx commission

25 Large Scale Framed photoworks
6 etched glass panels with lights
(1997-8)

collaboration with Stan Denniston

• our original concept was 'From the 4 corners to the 4 corners' - exploration in the digital age. (see artists sketches)

• we researched historical explorerers such as Marco Polo, Jacques Cousteau, Amelia Airhardt, James Cook, Henry Hudson, etc.

• Taking salient moments from their journals we found landscapes in Toronto CANADA which could 'stand in' visually for these distant lands.

• Metaphorically and fictionally eliding the foreign and the familiar, we invite the mbanx employees to wander and wonder through the series of images.

• Works range from 6 feet x 12 feet to 4 feet x 8 feet.
