Nicholas Metivier Gallery
Toronto, ON

"This exhibition is, for me, a moment of reflection. Over more than four decades of making photographs, certain images have come to stand as markers along the path of my thinking about industry, landscape, and the scale of human ambition. Many of the works in this show have long since sold out, but by returning to the vault and selecting a small number of artist proofs from my own archive, along with presenting a few of these photographs at a scale that was not possible at the original time of release due to material and technological restrictions, I’ve had the opportunity to revisit them with fresh eyes. Assembling this selection of prints allowed me to rediscover the ideas that first compelled me to make them, while also recognizing how their meaning continues to evolve over time. This exhibition feels less like looking back than it does taking stock, offering an opportunity to consider the arc of the work and the legacy these images may carry forward." - Edward Burtynsky
