There
is nothing new under the sun in Canada's resource industry.
Introducing the Canadian oil tanker car transformed into a fur trade
pipeline. This
painting depicts an oil tanker car (circa 2014), carrying inside the
fur trade products (beaver pelts) and its traditional pipeline (the
canoe). The oil dripping from the oil tanker car is used to highlight
that this is an oil tanker car. Using a Woodland art style to depict
the beaver, canoe and tank car alludes to the ongoing close
involvement of Canada's Indigenous peoples in the evolution of our
natural resources over time.
