A Return to Foul Bay - installation at Gladstone House

A Return to Foul Bay is part of Return, a two-person show exhibition with @delali.cofie curated by @peony_iris as part of @contactphoto.

Return explores ideas of home through photographs by Toronto artists Alexandra Majerus and Delali Cofie. Both artists' work capture the quiet everyday, with moments of joy and reflection. Cofie's images were made in his native Ghana. He describes them as "a love letter and salute to the people and moments that decorate everyday life." Majerus's works document a return home to Barbados to Foul Bay, the last place she visited with her father before his death. She says "the photographs reflect upon not only the loss of a parent but also the loss of a home as I lose my familial connections to the land."
