\"\"During the pandemic, Jon,\u00a0along with many others, became a sub-urban fl\u00e2neur, travelling to the outskirts of the city, the near edges of the greenbelt.\u00a0 At the western edge of Ottawa, squeezed between the new DND campus, the 417, a chip manufacturer and a new LRT station, a debilitated\u00a0wetland is being brought back to life. This is a next generation landscape \u2013 inherently human-made, yet wild and generative, supporting both the local ecology and the health of the water flowing across the city.\u00a0Jon\u00a0Stuart’s photographs of this landscape serve as an intimate turn towards interpreting the slow-changing world around us. Through his collection “Stillwater,\u201d Stuart aims to invite viewers inside the wetlands\u2019 evolution.\u00a0Today\u2019s look at the public exhibition of Jon\u2019s wetland photographs\u00a0also invites reflection on the role of urban wetlands in the work of climate impact mitigation.<\/p>\n

Speaker: Jon Stuart uses photography to collect and process delicate evidence which he uses to reveal meaning in the apparently mundane. Each scene contains clues to existence, presence, and place, not merely documenting physical locations, but places charged with significance. Jon\u2019s photographs seek to draw the viewer\u2019s eye from object to subject, shifting their view from a \u201cspace on the ground\u201d to a \u201cplace in the mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
