As We Grow, What Remains?

Collaboration with Lucy Bilson, CAFKA Biennale 2023

As We Grow, What Remains? is a collage composed of many photographs, illustrations, ephemera, and textures recently collected and combined with our personal image archive from living in Kitchener-Waterloo region. The artwork, installed as a vinyl image on the exterior of Market Square, explores the sense of familiarity. Under our collaboration name - The Observatory, Lucy and I have created what represents our unique experience in our respective neighbourhoods. Ultimately, the graphic quality of our design calls on some of these collected landmarks that specifically make this region feel like home.
