We need to love our home.

Protecting the environment is the responsibility of each of us. Many animals have become extinct because there is no suitable living environment for them. Due to the rapid industrial development, the water in many places has become sewage . We need to protect the environment from now.

A line traced by walking

A line traced by walking

This sound work was composed by walking the space between the Gibraltar Point Lighthouse and the shoreline of Lake Ontario over the course of a week. As one of Toronto’s oldest buildings, the Gibraltar Point Lighthouse is deeply embroiled in the city’s colonial history. The lighthouse’s location was chosen by Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe in the late 1700s because, in his view, the tip of Centre Island was, like the Rock of Gibraltar, a perfect site for military fortifications. Today, over 200 years since it was built, the lighthouse is no longer the same distance from the shoreline that was so carefully selected by Simcoe. In those 200 years, sediment deposition and land reclamation projects have increased the size of Centre Island gradually moving the lighthouse further and further from the shoreline (TPL, Online). Originally about eight meters from the lake the lighthouse is now over 100 meters away. Through daily walks—accompanied by my Zoom H5 Handy Recorder—I traced the movement of the lighthouse, paying attention to the acoustic ecology of the shifting space between Lighthouse and shoreline as the colonial structure becomes less and less capable of executing its original wayfinding function. The act of walking produced different modes of attention and resonances, like the slow movement of steps across pebbles at the shoreline. Walking and listening I asked; What can we learn by foregoing a desire to orient (way find) and embracing getting lost in listening? What stories emerge from the space between the lighthouse and the shoreline of Lake Ontario? Composed during the Walking & Art Residency led by Sarah Cullen and Simon Pope at Gibraltar Point Centre for the Arts.

as the mouth speaks

as the mouth speaks

As the mouth speaks tends to relations-in-process during the revitalization of former marshland today known as Biidaasige Park on Ookwemin Minising. Complicating colonial conceptualizations of Land as ‘resource’ and ‘sink’ that move through the past, present and future, this soundwalk weaves together histories, notes from the field and field recordings to compose a sonic collage. Presented through a singular voice recorded on site the soundwalk embraces the glitchy and disruptive interruptions from the field—such as wind and construction noise—to expose the performativity of listening and recording which are not universal, neutral or objective acts. Geolocated ‘echoes’ overlap, tangling temporalities to disrupt a singular linear narrative of how the artificial island Ookwemin Minising came to be. The soundwalk conjures multiple temporalities of the park as marsh, infilled industrial site, dump, revitalized public space and its possible futures. Listeners are invited to oscillate between knowing and unknowing—what they are hearing, understanding and experiencing—to think critically about the spatial politics of urban change. Without a defined beginning or end As the mouth speaks invites multiple and differing approaches to listening in/to place.
