Lake Trout Monument, Great Bear Lodge, August 2003 ..... Peter C. van Wyck
The long abandoned Great Bear Lodge was once a popular fly-in fishing camp situated on the Leith peninsula, a little over 50 km southwest of Port Radium. It was also the site of a 5000' runway used by Eldorado Mining and Refining to receive materials from the south and to transport radium and uranium ores from the mines at Port Radium for processing at Port Hope, Ontario. It is still home to uranium contaminated soil and debris. And the fish.

Electric Horizon ..... Robert Prenovault
Robert Prenovault is a sculptor and maker of things who currently lives in Montréal, Canada. Raised in the city and having lived for many years in the bush, his work questions the supposed distinction between nature and culture. This has led him to investigate the social and symbolic meanings of landscape as a liminal space existing at the conjuncture of human endeavour and the natural environment. Electric Horizon (1997), highlights their points of contact and connection.
