barton springs mill, tx, usa — true grain mill, b.c.. canada
This loaf was made with equal parts flour from a mill from my previous home, Austin, Texas, and my current home of British Columbia. it was seasoned with salt that I made from Satellite Channel, off of Piers Island, B.C., and was part of my process of place-making here in Canada. This was one of many actions I took to explore my relationship to place through local materials, local food, and community. I was able to share this loaf with the community I have established here as a manifestation of my journey in getting here.
Since living in Canada, I have developed an increased awareness of my surroundings, most specifically the flora and fauna of the region, as well as cottage industries scaling up to serve the community with locally grown and processed foodstuffs and materials. This was where the journey started, and continues to represent my connections to place.
