| Commentaires : | One day I was walking by a Toronto Dominion Bank in Winnipeg, Manitoba when I noticed that above the doorway was a bank crest with a figure that looked like an Indian. The bank was eventually torn down and I documented the demolition, waiting to capture the crest being lowered from the facade. Returning to the site day after day gave me an opportunity to think about the meaning of the crest and the Indian figure-how many people walk by it everyday, yet never notice it. I found a parallel to the urban-Indian experience: if you don't look like an Indian wearing a headdress, then are you really an Indian. I was sorry to see the bank crest taken down because it gave a point of reference for my street work and to speak about Indian urbanization. But it led me to search out other banks and taught me to "look up" instead of always looking straight ahead". (artist's statement) |
