Diary 4 (Waiting by Sheep Creek)

Download A4 | US Letter PDF 1.7Mb

About : Part 4 of a series of eBooks containing notes and images from journals and diaries created by Alice Angus during the Artists in the Park residency in Ivvavik National Park, Yukon, July 2003.

Published November 2007

Alice Angus, co-director of Proboscis, is an artist inspired by rethinking concepts and perceptions of landscape and human relationships to the land. Over the last six years she has been creating a body of art work exploring concepts proximity and remoteness, technology and presence, against the lived experience and local knowledge of a place. In 2003, Alice was the only non-Canadian to participate in the first Artist in the Park residency in Ivvavik National Park in the Northern Yukon, organised by Parks Canada. This essay is inspired by the experience in Ivvavik and by her long term collaboration with artist and guide Joyce Majiski that began on the residency. Information on Ivvavik can be found at:

About to come

Published June 2002

Gair Dunlop is an artist whose work inquires into the relation of identity, place, and the body. This has meant working with dance theatre groups, visitors to heritage environments, museum curators and staff and the public; on internet works, large-scale photographic pieces and short films. The process of dialogue is central to his practice. He recently worked with Scottish Natural Heritage on the island of Eigg and in Oban, making a piece with local children on their relation to the marine environment.
