Photographer and Printmaker
Resistance to Erasure
"I work with the lens as an instrument of celebration, carving free what endures—what resists erasure."
Christina Marie Comeau is a Canadian photographer and printmaker working at the intersection of documentary inquiry and fine-art practice. Her work examines resilience, continuity, and care as they are enacted within less visible working lives and places—often through small, independently owned businesses and community spaces shaped by service, trust, and long presence. Working in the long, quiet tones of carbon-based ink and platinum–palladium, Comeau treats material process as a form of inquiry, privileging perception, duration, and tonal nuance over visual excess.
Grounded in sustained, place-based engagement, her ongoing focus on Resistance to Erasure honours cultural memory and ecological awareness by preserving what persists—quietly, ethically, and with deep attention. Her photographs document values-based livelihoods—fishers, farmers, small-business owners, and others whose ways of living root their communities, sustain collective well-being, and gesture toward a more hopeful and sustainable future.
