Embedded in the Canadian psyche are the romanticized icons of a canoe and a campfire. John Notten’s Drawn to the Flame installation fuses these two images.

The installation is part of Toronto’s upcoming Lumière: The Art of Light exhibition, March 12 through April 20 at Ontario Place. The structure shows six red canoes rising like giant logs shaped into the form of a campfire. See more about Notten’s work at Lumière here.
