‘Settler-colonialism is territorially acquisitive in perpetuity’ - G. Coulthard. 
Outdoors, a series of flags bearing images of the skies above Canada & Argentina. In flight images are exposed or hidden in collapse; they reveal, & are revealed by, the gestures of the wind which in turn render visible a history of the wind. Industry’s impact on climate. Indoors, an atlas, a key to the sky made of instant photos, raw clay, a wool blanket & wire that turns the gallery into a massive shortwave radio antenna intercepting distant signals from across the Americas. Static articulates interference from electromagnetic phenomena: noise from local devices & changing atmospheric conditions. A blanket suggests comfort & protection. However the ‘point blanket’ has become an iconic yet volatile image inseparable from a history of conflict and commerce between European and indigenous nations: a currency for trade (Hudson’s Bay Company) and a weapon for the spread of disease to indigenous peoples. Today, Canadian mining companies continue to displace communities and extract resources throughout the Americas. Once mined, land is left poisoned, depleted and uninhabitable ‘in perpetuity.’ Can the official history & iconography of the point blanket be contested by a wind that moves un-national flags, flags with no claim, flags which are non-acquisitive? Folding & unfolding an elemental performance of aterritorial images proposes unsettling the present in which history, like the sky, remains open.
