I’ve always been fascinated by the history of my community & family—what it was like before I was born? who were my parents before they became my parents? what did my mother want from her life, before it became the life she has?

How did Wild Cove, my hometown in central Newfoundland, shape and limit the lives of the people I love, and in turn, my life?

I’ve taken dozens of photographs I found in albums and boxes and taped them to my studio wall in St. John’s. They are all from a time and place that I was not part of, and I keep looking at them and thinking: we are all something to someone but who are we to ourselves?
