“I chose Ambleside because it’s close to my home. We had stories and a village across the water and thinking of history, there must have been a lot of canoes that beached at Ambleside. Now whenever we go on canoe journeys, that’s where the canoes leave and come back to. With this print I have one canoe on the beach and one on the water, so they are facing each other as if they are communicating with one another. My message is connection, present and past, and bridging cultures together through education and art.” - Xwalacktun (Rick Harry)
