Algonquin: Drawn to The North In September 2014, I had the privilege of staying on a small island with links to Canadas most influential painter. Originally a home for the park ranger Wattie, who was part of Canadas bold experiment in preserving its wilderness, this island also hosted Tom Thomson, who inspired the Group of Seven, giving us an authentic Canadian voice for her landscape and culture. Tom stayed with him on the island many times and painted three of his small works there. As a painter myself, born in Canada, the island resonated with me on so many levels. Separated from the mainland by wave and wind, I sensed a deep connection with the Algonquin landscape. This short film is an awkward attempt to show some of what I met there and how Canada sang to me. _______ FOLLOW LIPSapp Hits56 Radio _______ FB: r-js/1rlggeQ / TW: r-js/1us3SdS / Listen to LIPSapp Hits56 Radio r-js/1dOIQ18 #thewho #beatles #elvis #jimihendrix #dylan
