Gimli Waltz, a poem by David Arnason, is the basis for the fourth print in The Archaeology of Water. David was born in Gimli, Manitoba, a community of strongly Icelandic origins on the shores of Lake Winnipeg. David now teaches English and Icelandic Studies at St. John's College at the University of Manitoba, and was instrumental in organizing the initial seed funding for this project. It is intended that some of the proceeds from sales of the suite will be used to fund scholarships for creative writing at the University, and some funds will be used to create scholarships in the Fine Arts Department at Langara College in Vancouver, where I teach printmaking and drawing.
