I was asked to photograph a whimsical art project for Carolyn Smith’s Masters program at Emily Carr University in the summer of 2020.
The unique outfit was created to illustrate the feeling of longing, loneliness, and emotional desolation of the summer of 2020- at the height of, and also, in a way, the awkward puberty stage, of one of the biggest, and most influential moments of many of our collective lives. The social distance was isolating and this felt good to be able to shoot again, during what has been a difficult time.
This was Little Bow Reservoir in Treaty 7 territory of the Blackfoot, Ts’uu T’ina and Blood Tribes.
In what is now known as Vulcan County in So Called Alberta.
