Curry Street YEG-GA and m.d.g. began their journeys together in Spring, 2017. During Canada Y150, m.d.g. continues working towards the completion of an Masters degree in Urban Planning. She also possesses undergraduate degrees in Anthropology and Urban Planning, and a Masters in Health Promotion. While she was born in Winnipeg, m.d.g. has lived for twenty-eight years in Edmonton. She is, without question, a very thoughtful student of the historical impact of human activity and the place of people within the urban environment. She displayed a deep-seated interest in her female ancestors to the Carver when she articulated details regarding the ethnicity and journeys of one of her grandmothers.

The stone for this carving was found in and around historic Curry Street, not too far away from the Homeglen School of One, in Rossdale, Edmonton. The title of the carving was not only derived from thinking about the "Creative Destruction" that has shaped Edmonton's neightborhoods in the River Valley for more than a century, but also the remarkable colour of the stone that appeared when the sculpture was polished. Curry Street YEG-GA is dedicated to the individual historical agency, accomplishments and contributions of female graduate students in Human Geography, especially those of them who recall the contributions of their female ancestors.
