This summer marked the fortieth anniversary of Eastern Edge Gallery, Newfoundland’s only artist-run centre and the site of some of the wildest and most boldly political art exhibited in Newfoundland since the early 1980s. In preparation for celebrations, which took place in St. John’s in August, the gallery staff dug into their archives, hosted story-sharing circles, and put out a call for photographs to create a floor-to-ceiling mural commemorating four decades of rich and raunchy history.

When the needle dropped on my impeccable white vinyl copy of the Ron Hynes tribute album Sonny Don’t Go Away, an unexpected surge of emotion nearly brought me to tears.

Could you tell us about growing up and learning of the importance of dog teams through storytelling? What kind of stories, and who told them? I recall many nights sitting around our home in Black Tickle listening to my Mom recall her memories of the sled dogs of her youth in that very community. She explained in great detail that her responsibilities included mending harnesses and tending to the ‘dog pot’ that would be atop the woodstove of her childhood home.
