The Sea of Ending Pt. 1

May 2 – 31, 2007
  • Parts Gallery
Daniel Ehrenworth, Shadow of Swords (Kingdom Come Motherfucker), 2005

In the first part of the Sea of Ending trilogy, Toronto artist Daniel Ehrenworth presents a suite of inkjet prints that depict an imagining of the passage from life to death. Unlike conventional representations of dying, especially the clean, simplistic, and somewhat clinical “light at the end of a tunnel,” The Sea of Ending Pt. 1 depicts the beginning of an organic and frightening journey through an illusory wilderness. Aesthetically influenced by Impressionism, charcoal drawing and cinema, this series employs a unique combination of in-camera and darkroom technique mixed with digital and inkjet technology.

CONTACT is a Toronto based non-profit organization dedicated to exhibiting, analyzing and celebrating photography and lens-based media through an annual festival that takes place every May.

Land Acknowledgement

CONTACT acknowledges that we live and work on the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples, and that this land is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. CONTACT is committed to promoting Indigenous voices; to generating spaces for ongoing, meaningful, and creative Indigenous-settler dialogue; and to continuous learning about our place on this land.

Anti-Oppression

CONTACT is committed to the ongoing development of meaningful anti-oppressive practice on all levels. This includes our continuing goal of augmenting and maintaining diverse representation, foregrounding varied and under-represented voices and perspectives via our public platform (the Festival and all related programs), as well as continually examining the structures of power and decision-making within the organization itself. We aim to actively learn, grow, and embody the values of inclusivity, equity, and accessibility in all facets of the institution, as an ever-evolving process.
