Alton Mill Dam Banners at PAMA
August 27 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Alton Mill Dam (2025) is a large-scale outdoor installation of a direct-positive pinhole photograph by artist Risa Horowitz. Made with a handmade camera at Alton Mill Arts Centre, the image centres on the concrete dam where Shaw’s Creek was engineered to drive what became the longest-running water-powered mill on the Upper Credit River system. The work prompts reflection on how industry, settlement and river ecology intersect within Ontario’s Greenbelt.
In partnership with CONTACT Photography and Alton Mill, this exhibition will be presented on PAMA’s outdoor banners.
