Untitled 4

from the series Vanier by Katherine Takpannie, 2018

Artwork Statement

The Vanier series capture a walkthrough of Vanier’s Richelieu park, one of Ottawa’s hidden woodlands. Dark was the forest on this day, offering just glimpses of shimmering light that playfully danced through large leaves. In the still silence of nature, between every second tree, is a doorway into a new world – a place to restore oneself.
