Enormous Thanks!
John Murtaugh, you have been amazing in your multi-faceted support of this entire process: honouring the concept, photographing my aging body and trees, proposing fun alternatives for layout and gallery activities, all with acceptance, grace and humour
Miream Rabba, you helped me get started on this project at Hollyhock, volunteering to capture parts of my body that I couldn’t reach with my camera…
Alexandra Gelis, you came back to Canada just in time to help me design, edit, and curate this exhibit, contributing your wild ideas to our collective synergy…!
Jon Spencer and Leonard Schlichting, you created the space I didn’t know I was looking for, an intimate gallery in my former home, where you have encouraged my creative process, helped me fill the walls, and co-hosted six wonderful events
Julia Aplin, Roula Said, Shannon Litzenberger, Andrea Nann, I went to the B.C. retreat for you, hoping we could collaborate back in our home base of Toronto, and here we are, dancing with trees, and with John Gzowski’s music….full circle..!
Mary Corkery, Real Eguchi, Honor Ford-Smith, Maureen Hynes, Marlene Kadar, May Ann Kainola, Sheila Stewart, and Barb Thomas, you paint with words the connections between bodies and trees, your poems inspiring me over the decades..!
Johanna, Daniel, and Brian, I am so grateful for your willingness to play with my wild and challenging ideas about how to crop and print the images at Staples
