gatekeepers of the north, 2016, outdoor paint on stone, approx. 12 × 30 feet
site-specific and permanent work on Pool’s Island, Newfoundland, Canada
Finding himself on a tiny island for two weeks with the CTG Collective in August 2016, Steimer was excited to work outdoors and experiment with a surface he had not yet encountered in his work: stone.
Naturally, and without initial discussion between them, each artist produced one protector to be permanently installed on the tiny Pool’s island.
Steimer’s guardians are the gatekeepers of the North.
