These works are part of the overall Mapping Time project based on images from several Arctic expeditions and locations.

The paintings: Resolute Bay is based on a photograph from travel with the Canadian Forces Artists Program in 2013, Franklin Strait I, II from participation on the Canada C3 Expedition on the icebreaker MV Polar Prince in 2017, and Spitsbergen I, II, III from The Arctic Circle artist residency sailing in Svalbard, Norwegian Arctic in 2018.

For the diptych Through Time, Through Space 3, the image for the lightbox on the left is a 1949 black and white photograph of Iqaluit, from the National Air Photo Library, taken by Royal Canadian Air Force photographers for early mapping of the North; my father flew many of the mapping flights. The colour photograph of the Franklin Strait, on the right, was taken by me from the deck of the Polar Prince in 2013.

For After the Cryogenic (Snowball Earth) 2-10, the photographs were taken while artist-in-residence at Cape Pine, Newfoundland, and are of the 650 million years old Ediacaran Fossils at Mistaken Point Ecological Reserve, Newfoundland.
