Environmental artist in Canada, Marlene Creates extends her ongoing photographic investigations of the six-acre patch of old-growth boreal forest in Portugal Cove on the island of Newfoundland / Ktaqmkuk, the unceded territory of the Indigenous Mi’kmaq and Beothuk. The book brings together the complete set of 154 photographs spanning her project of 19 years in this series, Larch, Spruce, Fir, Birch, Hand, Blast Hole Pond Road, Newfoundland 2007–2026. The sequence is composed of 77 black-and-white photographs taken on 35 mm film and 77 reprises as colour digital photographs. They are presented as pairs and showcase Creates' close attention to processes of time, memory, and of social ecologies. The tree and hand refer to the dangers of climate crisis and that is having an enormous impact on the ecosystem in the past decade. As a "place-based history" a stronger and healthier community in arts Newfoundland has been Creates' focus, and where she has made her home and artist studio since 2002 in Portugal Cove. The book includes an essay by award poet and author, Matthew Hollett from St. John’s, Newfoundland.
