42 Days in 18 Ways

The gallery display

42 days in 18 ways is a time-based photographic series focusing on the transitions that took place over the course of two 42-day wilderness canoe trips in North Western Ontario during the summer of 2006.

Artists/Trippers Jennifer Cherniack and David Perrett were guides for an educational canoeing program through the YMCA-YWCA of Winnipeg and Camp Stephens.

Jennifer led seven young women and David led seven young men on separate trips. These canoe trips focus on leadership and personal growth for high school-aged participants.

As trip leaders, the artists set out to incorporate contemporary art education and production into a program largely based on outdoor skills and co-operative living.

Trippers on the girl's trip were Cherniack and Ashleigh Hall.
Campers were Margaux Cadieux, Sarah Kesselman, Meredith Pind, Kelly Berringer, Jocelyn Goertzen, Alex Myers and Katie Black.
