A project by Derek Boswell and Kevin Heslop
McIntosh Gallery commissioned photographer Derek Boswell and writer Kevin Heslop to collaborate on a series of texts and images based on their experience living in London, Ontario during the Covid-19 pandemic. Ten of Boswell’s photographs along with responsive texts by Heslop will be shared weekly beginning on October 29, 2020.
