"I think that biking, skiing, & canoeing definitly cover quit a bit of "discovery" in Canada. I also thought that the "gritty/exploration" aspect would translate well as mud splatters & scratches.. like the iPod shuffle has been everywhere you have."
On request by the Canadian Toursim Commission to portrait Canada as a country of adventure, this is how canadian artist Leigh Dehaney renders it. The design is available at Cleverwome.de (link to shop), a cooperation run by the Canadiam Tourism Commission.
Leigh, best known for his photographic work, is currently consulting as a graphic designer and free lancing as a photographer/cinematographer.
As you can witness in his Flickr stream, his works often capture uneasy, slightly contaminated worlds, the "side effects of a populated world". There are murals, industrial ruins, machinery, bits of constructive architecture. You will find aspects of the urban environment presented in a certain latent, fragmented form.
Leigh Dehaney will be exhibiting at the FotoFest 2006 - The Eleventh International Biennial of Photography and Photo-Related Art.
