An unexpected discovery in Montreal
After nine stops on the tour the Wander Project is beginning to take on a recognizable face. Each new place brings with it a chance to follow my feet towards slices of delicious texture, graffittied walls, and heaps of colourful garbage. Along the way, I meet construction workers, climb fences, and tiptoe through dirty puddles. The images I collect speak to a sense of space based entirely on first impressions. My eyes adore shapes and angles, especially where metal meets wood, weeds grow from stone, or paint has peeled its layers. I would like to continue this project into the future. I have visions of thousands of images lining white walls, all catalogued according to place and corresponding to a mapped out wander. Ordered and adventitious at once. This is how a wander feels to me…
