Pencil, pen, and marker on paper, 6 1/2 x 17 1/2 inches.

Brock University commissioned three drawings from me for inclusion in an online publication of a cooperation between Brock University's Research Centre for Studies in Arts and Culture, and Archives/Special Collections.

"Walking with an Aeronaut" references a 1907 travel log written by French aviation pioneer, René Gasnier, on his account of the landscapes and industries of Niagara Falls. Translated into English by Nicholas Hauck. The French-language manuscript is a recent acquisition of Archives/Special Collections. Follow this link for the online publication:
