On a more literal level, working some of this out through the creation of the original Boundary|Time|Surface installation in 2014, and in other ways… Read More
It’s been very quiet here lately … and a bit frantic everywhere else in my life. Just got back from a week in Newfoundland, installing Boundary|Time|Surface at the Discovery Centre Gallery in Gros Morne National Park! The exhibition will be up for the entire season – until early October 2016. If you have a chance… Read More

It’s been a tremendous, and tremendously busy time the last couple of weeks. Said my (hopefully temporary) goodbyes to Gros Morne and the lovely people of Woody Point NL, spent a very fast couple of days in Halifax, and then was off to my next adventure – the Red Rabbit Intertidal Intensive – on the… Read More
