Marguerite Larmand was born in 1939 in Victoria Harbour on the southern shores of Georgian Bay where she grew up in a farming community.

​

For seven years of her youth, between the ages of seven and thirteen, she was participating in most farming activities and creating intimate and private places and things that revealed her physical and spiritual connection with nature. Through this exhibition, she reveals her affective memories through stories of life lived during those early years. Her ongoing desires and goals prepared her for her artistic life and at the heart, they reflect the spirit of an Indigenous ethos.
