REFORESTATION
(AND A TOPOGRAPHY OF LONGING)

Herzl Street studios, Tel Aviv, Israel 2004

“In the stairwell of an old building on Herzl Street in Tel Aviv, the cracks in the peeling walls remind me of the maps of the canoe routes of the northern Ontario forests of my childhood. I color in the forms of the lakes and rivers. On the landing, under the projection of an image of northern Ontario lake country and a recording of loons, I plant a forest of evergreens, planned in an orderly fashion, like the JNF forests throughout Israel.”

The installation was created for Home Sick, Salon D’Automne II, Tel Aviv 2004
