Commissioned through the Our Creative Home initiative offered by Business & Arts NL and Municipalities NL, with support from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador for Year of the Arts, and sponsored by The Paint Shop.
"It was the town of Cartwright that inspired its concept from start to finish. I visited them during their heritage week celebrations, and had a moment to speak with many wonderful residents about what made Cartwright and the surrounding area special to them. There were several important themes that came to light like culture, sustainable harvesting practices, intergenerational knowledge sharing, and creating a bridge from the past to the present in the hopes to inspire a better future. From youth to elders there was a common reflection that the land was vital to their wellbeing." says artist Monika Rumbolt.
