reading between the lines: starting to search for roots

I intend to visit these potential Witnesses and explore of their sites and histories. Photography, drawing, painting, and field recordings/deep listening are all part of my process, and I would intend for the research to culminate in a graphic score.
Due to Covid-19 and ever-changing travel restrictions within the province of Québec, visiting areas such as the Abitibi became problematic, and I decided to limit my search to within three hours of Montréal.
