MOVING MOUNTAINS

A hand holds an 8.5 x 11 inch publication titled Moving Mountains: Aislinn Thomas and Ruth Skinner in conversation. The cover is a pale yellow with 5 stylized, graphic mountain-like silhouettes staggered beside and in front of each other in a neutral warm palette of browns, grey, cream and a warm deep yellow.

MOUNTAINS USED TO BE UGLY was recently screened as part of London Ontario Media Arts Association’s Broad Topics: A Matrilineage of Media series, in partnership with The Museum for Future Fossils.  In lieu of an artist talk, I had the pleasure of corresponding with Ruth Skinner about this video, mountains, and access. This conversation in text is published in MOVING MOUNTAINS, the publication pictured above.  An open text document version is available here and a PDF here.

Big thanks to Christine Negus and LLOMA for being open to and supporting this dialog, to Jessica Negus for her design work, and to Ruth Skinner for the generous conversation.
