Tate then moved to western Canada, where he continued to exhibit in Vancouver and Victoria, continuing his pursuit to infuse natural materials in his paintings and sculptures from 1984 - 1990.

Tate spent over 10 years archiving one of the most active volcanoes in the world, located in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

Since returning to Canada in 2005, Tate's single-channel video has been shown in national and international film and new media festivals, symposiums, group screenings - exhibitions, and solo gallery installations. Tate creates artworks that represent various separate, yet coexisting worlds, some of which are expanding, while others are disappearing. Tate has received support grants, awards, and residencies from The Banff Centre, the Canada Council, Ontario Arts Council, BC Arts Council, Hawaii State Arts Foundation, and the Saskatchewan Arts Board. Tate has produced six landscape DVDs.
