Starting at “the Forks” in Winnipeg, where the Assiniboine River meets the Red River, I go door to door along the Assiniboine to gain permission to paint the private view of the river from these sites.
The plein air landscapes, viewed from windows within strangers’ homes and businesses, serve as maps, documenting both the physical passage of time interwoven with the social implications of being in inaccessible spaces.
