Every day, on my drive home from my studio on St. Ambroise, I pass through the boroughs of St. Henri, Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, and the city of Côte Saint-Luc. In the series Driving Home, I wanted to capture the motion of this day-to-day passage, the familiarity of the streets and buildings, and the contrast between this urban environment and the big stretches of sky that give this part of the city its unique character.

When I began this series I did not realise how much this daily drive was about to change.
Rue Saint Rémi, Rue Saint-Jacques, Boulevard Décarie, Boulevard De Maisonneuve – they were about to be forever altered with the construction of the McGill University Health Centre. As its massive shape began to rise on the edge of the Falaise Saint-Jacques, these views were transformed as underpasses were removed and streets were blocked off and diverted.

Driving Home has become an unexpected meditation on the tensions between road and sky, location and horizon, and the subtleties of change, memory and place.
