The wind within the trees

"I recently found it endearing to learn the lyrics to Led Zeppelin’s “Bron-y-aur stomp” were about Robert Plant travelling through the countryside with his dog. The song reminds me of times when I was younger, listening to it from my car’s cd player while driving through the wooded backroads in New Brunswick. Driving is a subject matter I seem to keep coming back to, maybe from a sense of nostalgia or romanticism, it’s like going to my happy place. I used to say I knew every stretch of ditch between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and so now I try to paint these scenes from memory. I still listen to cd’s in the car, driving through the landscape and searching for some sense of meaning."
