"As
Canadians, we have a personal and collective experience with ice
and cold which
is unique: we
take pride in the beauty of our landscape and at the same time make
peace with its harshness. We stare down into a sheet of frozen
ice and see ourselves
reflected
clearly in a mirror the size of the sky."
– Canadian
artist,
Gordon
Halloran,
