Gathering Stars is an autobiographical photography project about motherhood, healing, and wonder that grew out of my recovery from breast cancer. Created over six years, this work is a vivid and intimate inquiry into the fragility and resilience of life, beginning with my breast cancer diagnosis as a new mother, through my fertility journey and birth of my second baby, and ending with finding moments of grace in a pandemic with my two daughters. My daughters and I are observers and subjects in these photographs, demonstrating how healing and wonder live side by side during times of uncertainty and abundance.
Archival pigment prints are available through The Lyceum Gallery in limited editions of nine in two sizes, unframed and framed.
Gathering Stars is on exhibit at The Lyceum Gallery in Toronto from June 3-26, 2021.
