I often feel as though I have stepped into a Group of Seven painting when I am in the Canadian Arctic. The paintings of Lawren Harris first gave me a sense of this place. Bathurst Inlet, Nunavut.

“The bones do not symbolize death to me, they are shapes that I enjoy. They please me. And I have enjoyed them very much in relation to the sky.” - Georgia O’Keeffe. I was hoping to see the rivers of caribou that Farley Mowat describes in his book, People of the Deer. I saw mostly their sun-bleached bones and trails upon the land. Hope Bay, Nunavut.
