Historic Canneries
Whilst working at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery, I went up to see Port Edwards outside Prince Rupert, pictured above, a more extensive cannery site though less frequented year round. (I would have enjoyed more time there; easier to do more work in Steveston, a short bus ride from my studio.)
At the Gulf of Georgia, I worked with the program director, developing images for their brochure, aimed at drawing students on site to really look at and understand the machines. ( image right: detail of a fish canning machine + images below: colourful renderings of real machines – details)
