The sculpture is created with rocks from Toronto's shoreline that have not been altered or coloured in any way. The formation and colouration of these rocks result from a unique part of this land's history. Sometime in the late 1950's the Toronto Harbour Commission initiated a project to use the city's Development Industry by-products (building demolition) to build out the land and create a commercial use port, an idea that never fully realized. Now known as the Leslie Street Spit, the land re-wilded into a significant ecological zone, colourfully scattered with our past.

The sculpture Chromatica is displayed on the floor. The composition is intentional yet ambiguous and bears resemblance to a rug, a map, a blueprint, or even a landscape. As usual, the artist leaves space for multiple interpretations.

I  recognize this land to be the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat. I acknowledge that Tkaronto is covered by Treaty 13 and that while I am on this land I must know and live the Dish With One Spoon Wampum agreements to honour all beings that live in this land.
