Text of the artwork: 

walking down to the pond

all the memories

came crashing back

 

first goal

 

the mountains, the sky and ice would turn red

 

my dad...well...he’d build boards

out of old sheets of plywood

then at night

he’d flood the backyard

we’d wake up to our own rink

 

where the mountains meet the plains

 

we’d

drive to the rink

in the dark

she’d always

make me

hot chocolate

 

long free days with a stick and skates

 

pond hockey

 

new skates
