We met on a tiny island off the island of Newfoundland, Canada in 2014. Diana's research interest in how communities tied to natural resources are navigating the transition to the 21st century creative economy led her and her husband Brian to take a plane, ferry, and car to Fogo Island. Nicole arrived to Fogo Island after three years living and working in Montreal. She began her six month artist residency with Fogo Island Arts in January 2014 and finalized her mobile schoolhouse project in October 2014. Fogo Island: its questions of craft, geology, tourism, architecture and local knowledge, will frequently make an appearance in the studio recognizing the special place where our collaboration first sparked.
