In 1989, I was an employee on a cinematic feature in the town of Iqaluit, NWT, Canada (formally, Frobisher Bay). Referencing the Whitney Brothers films of the 1950's and 1960's and after 24-year period of expressed sorrow for its town and people, I created this mandala installation loop. The film, revolving and repeating, offers a glimpse into the permanence of nature, in contrast to the transience of man-made ideals and ambitions.
