Item Description
Out of Lapasse, 2023, photograph, 16 in x 20 in
Speaks to my travels in and around the Ottawa Valley. Lapasse is located north of Ottawa. This was our first trip into this area and as always, I take photos of my travels (both as a family and as an artist). Out of Lapasse is, for me, an exercise in technological patience, here the late evening sun gave way to a beautiful silhouette and to my surprise it rendered quite well.
Out of Lapasse, 2023, photographie, 16 po x 20 po
Cette œuvre témoigne de mes incursions dans la vallée de l’Outaouais et ses alentours. Lapasse est au nord d’Ottawa. C’était notre première fois dans cette région et comme d’habitude, j’ai pris des photographies de notre aventure (à la fois en famille et comme artiste). « Out of Lapasse » [près de Lapasse] aura été, pour moi, une œuvre de patience technologique, en attente de la lumière du soleil couchant qui nous a donné une silhouette magnifique et, à ma grande surprise, une photographie plutôt réussie.

Établit à Ottawa, en Ontario, l’artiste Barry Pottle est Inuk et originaire du Labrador (Rigolet, Nunatsiavut). Son moyen d’expression préféré a toujours été la photographie qui lui permet d'explorer le monde qui l'entoure. Vivant à Ottawa, qui compte la plus grande population urbaine d'Inuits en dehors du Nord, Barry demeure en contact avec la grande communauté inuite, mais la COVID et la vie ont remis en question ce point de vue au cours des dernières années. C’est à travers son appareil photo que Barry peut mettre en valeur le caractère unique de la communauté. Que ce soit lors de rassemblements culturels, de sorties en famille ou dans la solitude de la nature que permet la photographie, Barry capture l'essence de la vie inuite à Ottawa.
