The installation currently includes three large sculptures that recreate, bead by bead, a trio of Canadian landscapes painted by F.M. Bell-Smith, Frederic Church and Lucius O'Brien in the late 19th century. Photographic reproduction and contemporary digital manipulation are used to plot the order of plastic beads on hundreds of strands of silver wire.
