Learning From the Past, Imagining a Shared Future: It was a distinct honour to have been asked to create a significant sculpture at the entrance to the town of Kagawong on Manitoulin Island that would reference, Reconciliation. The visual inference of the sculpture is to imagine, inspire and realize the ability to ascend and transcend our relationship from the past to a new future in reconciling humanist ideals. This sculpture indicates that reconciliation is an upward actuality, moving towards a post-colonial reality while inferring and considering the past, present and future – the three cultural communities, the French, the English and the First Nations; including the First Nations (Ojibwe, Odawa and Pottawottami) as well as our relationship to earth, air, water as well as body, mind and spirit.
