Natalie and I started working on our groving project while spending time in the Goutte D'Or, the African quarter of Paris. We talked a lot about being the outsiders or interlopers in a city. We visited the flea market at Le Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen in Clignancourt. It was full of discarded personal knick-knacks, a menu of forgotten lives. We felt far from the comfort of home, even small objects and memories took on a new significance.
