Artist's Statement:
"This is a personal project that looks at families undergoing the nuclear remediation of their property. Over several trips to Port Hope I have photographed families affected both physically and mentally. This essay aims to be a personal record of the individuals affected, along with how their lives have changed within the walls they live in."
For more information on the nuclear radiation contamination in Port Hope, Ontario, or to get involved, please contact F.A.R.E. (Families Against Radiation Exposure), an organization that is headed by the people documented in this project.
