FADE IN: The screen is a microcosm of caribou moss and lichen covering the soft forms of fallen trees and smooth boulders. There are small footprints in the moss exiting the frame. Someone has just left.
'I grew up in a small, rural town. The woodlands surrounding us were our playgrounds. The paths we made with our footsteps wound around familiar birch and spruce, each tree with its own identity. Each small clearing in the bush became a stage for enacting the dramas of our lives, real and imagined. The stories that unfolded within these settings fueled our imaginations. The shifting light of the seasons coloured and enriched the emotional tone of our lives.
As an artist making images of place, I often find myself creating a setting where something has happened or is about to happen. At times it’s like being a location scout for places where we can wander around in our own thoughts.
I still experience the Boreal woodlands in much the same way. Within them, I am. '
