On The Line | Released on Metalable $90USD
Fundraising Photobook & Prints for Canadian Landscape Fires
When I visited Fort McMurray in October 2016, I had no idea how significant the project I was embarking on would become.
2-minute video about our project in Fort McMurray, working collaboratively, and the Metalable partnership.
2025 marks a significant milestone in the project as we prepare to return the finished monograph to this post-fire community. Once there, we will have a festival weekend, culminating in a koha ( gift) of 20 self-published copies of the monograph and exhibiting prints.
To raise funds for this, we have partnered with Metalable to release the final fifteen copies of the first edition of my acclaimed book On The Line with a set of three unique prints. We can despatch tomorrow, and your name will be added to the website list of patrons and sponsors.
With gratitude,
Alan

Book Reviews:
“A brave and visionary response. One that strikes close to home” -
Robert Adams, Photographer.
-
"Most impressive. I love the cover and have been running my fingers over it, tilting it back and forth under my light.
Very bituminous!
And it’s great to see the photos so large, almost window-sized.
They really put you there - struggling trees and huge, implacable vehicles - two motivations at diametric odds with one another". -
John Vaillant, author of Fire Weather, 2023.
-
"A powerful collection Alan"
Maria Lisogorskaya, Turner Prize Winning Artist and Architect.

“...There is a strange, melancholy grace in these images; one whose power contains multiplicities. Not only are each of these photos a spectacle of nature’s waning resilience, they reiterate our implication in the destruction of the natural world…”
Michael Steven, poet.
