I am showing some of the work from the Archives of Absence project at Credo in Edmonton over the next while. The work went up this past Friday (February 22nd), and will be up for a few weeks. It’s good to have this work out in the world again – it’s always good to revisit… Read More
New Archives of Absence Video
My co-conspirator in the Archives of Absence project, Catherine Owen, recently passed on a link to some re-worked Berm video footage. Lovely to have the visuals combined with the pleasure of hearing the writing performed. There are other ‘Berm’ Videos up on Catherine’s Youtube channel … have a peek.
A word or two from Catalysts …
A video clip (courtesy Wolsak & Wynn) of our reading from Catalysts in Toronto this past spring. Nice to be able to see this from the ‘other side’ … and to remember how great it felt to be bringing the Archives of Absence project out into the world in yet another way. If… Read More
Archives … exhibition reception this Saturday
In amongst all the other things going on just now, I have a small exhibition up in the Naess Gallery at the Paint Spot. It’s a nice little space, and an ideal size to show the Archives of Absence work as it has evolved since its initial birthing into the world at the Edmonton Poetry… Read More
Much Afoot …
Well, it’s been very – very – busy in the studio lately! Seems as though I’m actually making some headway though, so that’s a good thing … the last push before the exhibition in October continues, with some interesting related-but-slightly-tangential-to-the-moment projects along the way, for good measure (just in case I felt like I needed… Read More
Nesting, or Obsessing … Take Your Pick!
Things have been pretty quite around these parts lately, for which I apologize. It’s been a ‘go hard or go home’ kind of time the last few weeks … much going on, much to be done. This seems to be the way of it. So… this is what I’ve been up to: There was a… Read More
Catalysts
Well, it’s almost here: the tour for Catalysts is coming next month! I have had the pleasure and honour of collaborating with poet/musician/photographer/mayhem-maker Catherine Owen for a number of years now, and am delighted to see the fruits of this ongoing labour take yet another form. Catalysts: Confrontations with the Muse is a collection of… Read More
Some thoughts on new drawings …
I’ve been quite conscious of my work process in the last while – more than usual – because it seems to be evolving quite rapidly. This is, quite naturally, bringing all kinds of interesting questions to light for me in relation to the way I work, why I am drawn to do what I do:… Read More
An Ongoing Dialogue …
One of the most remarkable things about making art for me has always been the opportunities this mad existence has offered to meet – and work with – some truly exceptional human beings. I have been gifted with several such ongoing encounters, one of which I’d like to share today … I have worked on… Read More
How I spent my Summer Vacation …
… which hasn’t been entirely a vacation at all – but has involved travel. And Art. And a suntan (in stripes). I’ve been to Toronto twice to visit and work with my friend and fellow creative agitator David Young, a quick trip to Ottawa, to Halifax for the CARFAC conference, a few days on the… Read More
