In These Quiet Hours
by Gage Michael Wheatley
These images were taken over a summer spent walking through the places where people used to be, or where they only barely remain. Gardens gone to seed, homes kept like shrines, signs pointing nowhere. Together, they tell a story not of loss exactly, but of the life that swells in silence. A man crouches in the bushes, but he’s not lost. He’s listening.
ABOUT THE CREATOR
Based in Montreal/Tiohtià:ke, Gage Michael Wheatley's interdisciplinary practice weaves together poetry, ceramics, and photography. They build on a queer aesthetic of playful art-making to explore how we relate to history, myth, and the world around us. Their work is a quiet inquiry into the space where discarded things become treasures. Their work has appeared in CV2, yolk, and Headlight Anthology, among others.
