Finding Home is a visual narrative on being unsettled in an environment. I have moved many times during my lifetime but I still desire to be home—to find a sense of place, a sense of belonging. My new artists' book Finding Home tackles the experience of living in Idaho while I'm still deeply rooted in Canada. Dissimilar environments between my home divided by miles and miles of where I live give rise to common elements: butterflies, snow, sunsets, and the Maple Leaf. Where I belong means more than the place I inhabit. The question remains—where do I belong?
