Lot Q

Painted during Monica Tap’s two-month residency at the Pouch Cove Foundation in Newfoundland, these panels represent a sustained daily practice of plein air painting. Compelled by a fascination with the immediacy of making in such a rugged and ancient place, Tap was able to further her interest in how location can trigger memory, akin to how painting readily conjures its own past. By documenting her surroundings in this way, Tap channels a romance as old as painting itself, where being present is the pathway to capturing life’s energy.
