Barbara Rae The Northwest Passage
In 2015 the artist Barbara Rae travelled to the Arctic on the trail of her namesake, the surgeon and explorer Dr John Rae (1813–1893). Captivated by the ‘wild sort of life’, John Rae had surveyed the archipelago north of Hudson’s Bay, learning local languages and traditional survival techniques. His co-operation with the Inuit – almost unheard of at the time – allowed him to discover the fate of Sir John Franklin’s lost expedition, and to confirm the existence of the Northwest Passage, the maritime link between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
