TOUCH LINES by HAROLD SPENCE-SALES

Western Gallery

May 11 - July 31, 1992

Presented by Simon Fraser Gallery, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia and Western Gallery, Western Washington University, Bellingham, Washington

Harold Spence-Sales is a well known Canadian architect and urban planner who has spent his life observing our lands and our settlements. His installation is a unique photographic portrayal of the common lands along the border between the United States and Canada through which people pass from one country to another. The installation conveys the voice of the landscapes through symbolic arrangements of wall panels and models incorporating photographs, drawings and text. Although Spence-Sales has mapped these lands from the Pacific to the Atlantic, this gallery exhibition features images of the border lands of Mt. Baker's domain and the prairies.
