Description

“An explosion of brilliant turquoise glows on the cover of this issue of the IAQ, enveloping photographer Katherine Takpannie. Thorugh her Amiat series an ongoing exploration of colour and movement, Takpannie uses smoke bombs to “make the intangible, tangible.” Tunguiuangaiug #7 (2017), captured beneath the Prince of Wales bridge or “black bridge” in Gatineau, QC, was a formative location for the artist in her youth. The resulting image is imbued with deep personal meaning and memory. ” (IAQ, Colour: Chromatic North)
