Black Ice: David Blackwood


Fire Down on the Labrador, 1980

"He is a native Newfoundlander telling us stories that have come down to him and his family and which he remembers from his childhood of the very brave men who went out on the cod fisheries.. they are not only filled with amazing stories but they are also metaphors for man's attempt to survive in the most hostile environment on earth. For that  reason, we all relate to them because they show us how we can survive against all odds. They are very inspiring... mysterious." -Curator Katharine Lo


Hauling Job Sturges House, 1979
