A surreal hymn to the Canadian wild, North of Normal reimagines the Rockies as sentient stewards of the land. A monumental ram emerges from the mist like a mountain spirit, flanked by a curious beaver and a poised goat perched at impossible heights. A Blue Jay soars freely while a hot air balloon drifts toward a lone Canadian flag, caught between wonder and absurdity. In this Unofficial Collaboration, Josh Harnack reshapes a classic landscape into a dreamlike celebration of nature’s quiet power and strange familiarity — where the wild feels just a little more alive than it should.
