2002 was a time of big change. I quit my graphic design job of eleven years and was forced to move from the warehouse loft I’d been living in for over a decade as it was slated to become yet another condo. Freed from these things, I went to West Africa as an adventure motivated by my love of African music. I engaged in a drum and dance workshop with drum master Quasi Dunyo in the Volta Region of Ghana and then proceeded on my own throughout Ghana, into Togo, Burkina Faso, Mali and then taking the fabled 38-hour train ride from Bamako, Mali to Dakar, Senegal. This would be my last series of prints from film, culminating in a show at Mitzi’s Café in Toronto in 2003.
