Seven Sisters is a seven-channel video installation. Designed to play on seven television sets of different sizes, the work sculpturally represents the mountains it shows. The work takes us on a helicopter trip from Terrace, in northwestern British Columbia, up the Skeena River to the Seven Sisters Mountains. We fly over mile after mile of clear-cut logging and consequent devastation, then through a bit of bush to follow a herd of mountain goats. The work shows us the blossoms of numerous traditional food and medicine plants that grow in the mountains, then we see the clear-cuts again followed by images of the wildlife of the area stuffed in a museum.
7 channels images are from the same source, edited in different sequences for each channel.
The preview represents one of the seven channels and is representative of the entirety of images.
