In July, 2010, 10 artists were allowed permission to access and document the Claremont Cottage before it was scheduled for demolition. This was the summer home of A.O Wheeler, a land surveyor and co-founder of the ACC (Alpine Club of Canada) The house was remarkable, with a goldfish pond in the front yard where the domestic goldfish have remained in the warm spring fed pond for the past 90 years. My photo is a reflection taken in the pond, and if you look closely, you will see the goldfish in the trees and the bottom of the pond in the sky. The project was organized by Donna-Jo Massie and the link will take you to an article about the art exhibition in Oct 2010. Last week, the Wheeler house was destroyed. All artwork from this project will be purchased by the Wheeler House Foundation.
