The Art Gallery of Bancroft is situated on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg Algonquins, which is known to be unceded. Indigenous people have been stewards of this land since time immemorial; as such we honour and respect their connection to the land, its plants, animals and stories. Our recognition of the contributions and historic importance of Indigenous peoples is sincerely aligned to our collective commitment to make the promise and the challenge of truth and reconciliation real in our community.

From the Artist:
In the first week of March 2020 I took a previously planned four-day trip to New York City. Three days after I returned, the first COVID lockdowns began. During the next couple of years, I used the photographs I had taken during my trip as my primary resource material for this series of paintings. I re-contextualized the images to reflect the loss and isolation of the period.
I spent the pandemic in my high-rise condo in downtown Toronto. This series of work was created between 2020 and 2024. The title of the series is loosely inspired by the live version of the John Prine song “Jesus, The Missing Years”.
