A Portrait of Bridgeland
These murals imagine what the land would remember happening in this intersection of 4th avenue, Edmonton Trail, Reconciliation Bridge and Memorial Drive.
These memories are drawn as bright warm shapes that hover over the prairie. All the imagery used was drawn from over 200 hours of research and interviews with residents, knowledge keepers, Indigenous elders, archeologists, geologists, historians, local business owners, and randomly encountered unhoused occupants.
As viewers look at this artwork, I hope to provoke the question, what memories will we give this piece of land in the years to come?
