Just a Few More hours …
Well. Here we are – a few hours from the opening reception to Boundary|Time|Surface. This still point in the process always feels a little surreal. So much goes into the making of an exhibition. In this case, 5 years from the original project to now; at least a solid year of resea...

Countdown begins … Today
It’s officially one week from today that Boundary|Time|Surface opens at the Art Gallery of St. Albert! Not quite sure how the time flew by so fast (well, actually yes, I am – in the studio!) – but regardless – I find there’s always a sense of time speeding ...

New things coming …

It’s been a head-down, get-things-done time for several months now. Board work, projects in various stages of development requiring attention, travel,  … and soon, an exhibition of work. I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to return to the Boundary|Time|Surface project...

Musicworks and Macromareal
It’s been head down and ‘getter done’ lately on a number of fronts, and so writing her has fallen by the wayside for a while. In any case, in the midst of getting various jobs finished in the studio and elsewhere, I received a lovely thing in the mail: It’s always a bit of...

Macromareal (redux) – some images
After a whirlwind – and lovely – trip to Vancouver to install Macromareal(redux) at ECUAD, Scott and I are back in Edmonton and digging into all the other work we have to do. Part of that for me has been editing the first batch of documentation from this exhibition, so I can share it ...

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...

Redux, on the Road …
I thought the beginning of this year was going to be relatively quiet – a time just to hunker down & work in the studio through the cold months. There’s certainly been a good bit of that – preparations for an exhibition in the Fall – but then a lovely opportunity came ...

A time of Gratitude
It has been a quiet, gentle day. No hubbub. A day to watch snow fall. Play some music. Make food and eat it. Tomorrow will be busier; family coming over for a shared meal, gifts exchanged – a different kind of energy, no less delightful for all of that. And tonight – a chance to…...

A good way to celebrate the Season and start toward a New Year: I am very happy to announce that a selection of my work  is now available for sale or rental through the Art Gallery of Alberta! I think this is a great program from the AGA – renting work is a very cost-effective… Read More
