“Despite his evocation of Newfoundland’s ‘emotional topography of loss’, he resists the still prevalent heroic picture-making tradition of idealizing landscapes like Brigus in order to ‘mark’ Newfoundland’s less distinguished history as a site of, potentially, genocide (the Beothuks); corporate greed (the depleted cod fishery), and institutionalized poverty. Responding in particular to several ‘monster houses’ being built that summer in Brigus, and the ongoing petroleum war in Iraq, these potential energy hogs transforming the scenic harbour landscape, acquired significance beyond their banal forms and brash paint colours.”
