Mortuary bag of a victim of the #HalifaxExplosion When the Mackay-Bennett began collecting the dead from Titanic, they used a system where each body was numbered, physical details recorded, and personal items placed in a bag with the same number as the body. After the explosion, the same system was used to help identify those killed, whose bodies were stored at an improvised morgue at the Chebucto Road School. #halifax (at Maritime Museum of the Atlantic)

On December 6,1917, the clock on city hall stopped. In 1999, the clock was replaced, but one side was left at 9:04, the time of the explosion. #halifax #HalifaxExplosion (at Halifax City Hall)

Visiting Halifax and Peggy's Cove today. Knowing for the Titanic graves of those bodies that were recovered at sea, Halifax was also the site of a huge explosion of a munition ship in 1917 that killed over 2000 people, devasted the port, and was the largest human caused explosion before the denonation of the atom bomb. The pier near where we docked was where many Canadian immigrants arrived. I seem to remember many of these immigrant ships sailed from Greenland dock in the Surrey docks area of London. #Halifax #halifaxexplosion #titanicgraves #fairviewlawncemetry #peggyscove #novascotia (at Titanics Grave) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjn5rUlOwXj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The day when two war ships collided and blew up an entire city.

Thanks to each and ever one of you, 2017 have been my best art year to date in every way! This year I have sent works to 5 out of 7 continents, landed two gallery representations, 9 commissions, a solo show #deeranddoves and a group show #halifaxexplosion and it’s all thanks to you guys! Without all your comments, encouragements, and support none of this would have happened so quickly and in some cases at all! So here’s to 2017 🥂🍾 Now let’s make 2018 ever better! (at Nova Scotia)
