The culture, the community, the connections that shape a person. As we are taken on a dream-like walk through and across the famous Horseshoe Tavern, we pass along tangible evidence of our time there: news clippings, a familiar face, dance floors we scuffed. ‘No Solace’ is a tribute to Gord’s presence and stories echoed in the Horseshoe Tavern.

 

With this departure, arises the journey to acceptance. The void of the “Away” setting is visually distinct; deprived of any familiarity. It is here that we toil and untangle the self and its inner-workings to arrive at embracing letting go. ‘Away is Mine’ is reflective of this universal trek we take to find peace in what’s next, while also paying respect to the departure of Gord
