Perth Road
Perth Road is one of those amazingly long Ontario roads that lead straight out of a city into the countryside, often for 60 miles or more – in this case, from Division Street in Kingston to the remote town of Perth in Lanark County. Driving straight out of Kingston on this road to a more or less random point, I stopped at the Green family home, knocked on the front door and explained that I was making an artwork and everyone in the household was welcome to participate. The family decided to divide the plate into different sections, one for each member of the household. I later filled the two unoccupied spaces with photographs I took while in their house.
