<p>Written on the Land presents Mark Ruwedel's ongoing photographic project that looks at the impact of technologies and culture on the land. His subtle yet rigorous, decade-long investigation has resulted in a fascinating accumulation of images portraying not only those devastations we have wrought during our own recent history, through military manoeuvres, weapons testing, resource extraction and cultural modification's but also the violent intrusion that was the 'conquering' of the west, in particular the building of the railways and the application of the new site names by European immigrants and explorers. The book covers Ruwedel's work from 1990 to 2001, divided into three sections: The Ice Age; Pictures of Hell; and Westward The Course of Empire. These three series are interrelated, as archeological history, land use and the act of naming places combine to form a picture of human interaction with the land. The publication includes a list of works and biographies. Exhibition dates: September 7- October 20, 2002 The exhibition toured across Canada during 2003 / 2004 Designed by Alex Hass, Radish Design Studio. Printed by Hemlock Printers. Mark Ruwedel has won the 2014 Scotiabank Photography Award</p>

Mercedez was a “Trilogy” passing through this world. Born Roger Clifton Mears IV in 1980, transitioning to Spencer Love, as an eighteen year old gay male, performing in drag, until embracing Mercedez Love, the girl and the woman she was meant to be.    In the sixth grade she desperately tried to fit pieces of a puzzle together to understand why she was so different. She wrote her first memoir, journal bound by a clasp titled, “This is a Confusing Life”.  This Memoir honors her as one who never made a choice to be the person she was. Her life was difficult and yet her spirit, laughter and most of all LOVE touched so many as she struggled to survive.     “ My story won’t ever have a chance to be told.   I’ve lived it, but, people wouldn’t believe what  I’ve been through in my life.”                                         -- Mercedez Love
