Just back from a whirlwind trip to Vancouver with my friend & collaborator Scott Smallwood – we installed Macromareal(redux) at Emily Carr for a month-long exhibition, and spoke to some of the students there. Not sure I’ve caught my breath – but tomorrow (February 28) I will be speaking again, with another collaborator, about another… Read More
