"... My Ice Huts series (2007-2017) explores a seasonal, off the grid, architectural form that must be transportable, while still being weather resistant. This ability to endure extreme winter cold is a complex challenge with unlimited solutions, each as personal as it's owner. My Ice Villages series (2010-2017) is informed by early landscape master George Barnard who overlapped several images to extend a viewpoint beyond the single frame. These panoramic images explore the need for community, sometimes structured, often random. By returning to the same locations, over time, I have witnessed regional growth and decline. The images in this series are dedicated to the resourceful people, engaged in ice fishing culture, making our winter-white landscape a little more colourful and infinitely more interesting."
