I started this body of work last winter during one of Toronto’s Covid Lockdowns as I walked most weeks through High Park, Toronto’s largest park downtown and a unique historical and ecological site. As we all navigate continuing changes in how we move and think about space, I became interested in documenting the importance of High Park as a resource of social, physical and mental release for many Torontonians. Yet through my work in the park I became enamored with the natural beauty that has been so well preserved, spanning from Bloor St West to the waterfront of lake Ontario, the park stands as one of the only lasting Black Oak Savannas in southern Ontario. These images work to visualize how humans are interacting with the park's ecologies and produce new geographies which can act to ground us during the pandemic. Yet these photos also complicate how we are interacting with these spaces, passing through them leaving our marks on them. These images as a whole act as a survey documenting all of the little ecosystems and passing interactions humans have with them, contained in the park's 400 acres. Capturing characters — both human and natural — we not only can begin to understand the importance of natural and historical preservation in urbanized spaces, but also the inherent complexity that this relationship holds.
