A second privately sponsored residency on Bowen Island BC Canada as part of a continuing project where solitary waling is part of a research project that examines the notion of 'place portraits' . At the mid point of the walk , drawings are made to capture the essence of that place. Some sites are revisited, new ones captured . It provides an opportunity to engage with the inhabitants of the island in some circumstances, in others , the drawings are made in a state of aloneness. The island is home to a great number of artists, makers and writers - one of the highest concentrations in Canada, which has facilitated ongoing conversations and encounters with the community, where discussions about how place is captured visually . Drawings and embroideries where made during the residency that map the idea of place. Folded drawings are a feature of this process, to facilitate transport. Drawings are selected from both residencies to be shown together. the project will continue with further residencies in the future.
