This travelling exhibit features the work of photographer and artist David Ellingsen, whose family has roots on Cortes Island, BC. For five generations David Ellingsen’s family has been involved in British Columbia’s historical evolution of colonial forestry, from old growth deforestation and clear cutting to contemporary environmentally conscious harvest practices. Ellingsen’s consideration of these ancient remains, interwoven with his own personal history and familial responsibility, serves as a meditation of the contemporary disconnect between our commodity driven culture and our environment.
