EXHIBIT AT RENCONTRES: THE GASPÉ PENINSULA: LAND ON THE EDGE OF TIME

“The Gaspé Peninsula in the winter is a striking, poetic landscape, with luminous skies and an undisturbed silence. I made seven trips over three winters, and photographed the objects that are a representation of the essential links created between the people of the Gaspé and their land. The Edge of Time is a metaphor, a remote truth in a larger landscape that draws me to the transformative quality of snow on this rugged coastline. Here, where the cornerstones of Gaspé culture reveal themselves through the lens of my camera, my work becomes a reflection of the elemental, autonomous, unpredictable nature of history.”
