EXHIBITION BY MORGAN TRAA

My City is a Graveyard documents Traas’ relationship with the city of Winnipeg as a young adult
following the loss of her mother, and home, and the feeling of displacement within the city that
accompanied these life-altering changes. Consisting of 17 paintings and a video that includes
the artist’s poetry, My City Is a Graveyard uses Winnipeg as a backdrop for longing, anger and
reclamation of place. Utilizing a painting style akin to American voyeurism, an unbridgeable
distance is felt between the viewer and the painting, void of figures, the visual tension in Traa’s
landscapes are paradoxically heavy with absence.
The hot sun casts sharp lines dappled by sunlight through trees, buildings resembling
monuments to grief imposing on the blue sky. Traas’ work asks us to reflect on what it means to
stay in a city full of memories with buildings like gravestones.
“I’m Isolated within the city walls, downtown is quiet and I am stuck in time. The city and I have
this in common. We sit and wait to be moved, brutal in our stance and uncompromising in our
resolve. My city is a graveyard.” – Traa
