In archeology, artifacts are only as precious as their well-documented provenance and context that allows them to tell a more complete story. These items that I found, unearthed or bought have a story of their own but also a story that I made for them, this is an exercise in collecting those stories so they can be shared and hopefully inspire other people to create stories of their own for their favourite found objects. https://ritualdust.com/works/photo/the_landscape_is_listening/ Wed, 31 Mar 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://ritualdust.com/works/photo/the_landscape_is_listening/ Walking the urban Landscape of Montreal and noticing it’s nature, patterns and textures.
