Born in Ireland, Paddy Lamb moved to Canada in 1985 and is a graduate of the University of Alberta. His work is strongly influenced by history, memory and social culture, offering a personal narrative concerning human migration and attachment to the land. Repeated Visits to the Museum of Life features landscape-based art installations that reflect different eras of cultural heritage and challenge a traditional definition of commemoration or monument.
