Passages of Time (A Survey of Edmonton History) provides a retrospective of Edmonton’s City Halls. The two collages blend a selection of historical photographs from the City of Edmonton’s Archives, along with renderings and models from the new City Hall. Some of the landmarks featured include the #1 Fire Hall from 1893 (the first permanent meeting place used as City Hall), and the Civic Block from 1912 (used as City Hall until City Hall was built in 1957). By scanning and layering the historic images, the artist has seamlessly combined a visual record of Edmonton’s past and present.
