2 D Pieces
This series of oil paint stick 2D pieces speaks of finding order in the randomness of life. Now that I am old I watch this process in astonishment. Like life, each of these images starts with a line (event) which winds across the canvas and is still visible in the finished piece. From the line I coax the image from my unconscious to the canvas, much the same way we visualize and then weave the threads of our daily lives into our life tapestry.
Assemblages and Masks
My work explores how our post-modern spirituality intersects with that of our Palaeolithic ancestors. Using found and scavenged objects such as seeds, bone, fur, fungi etc., I build talismans and amulets - objects people who lived 40 000 years ago would have understood as connections to the spirit world.
I thank the Chonnonton, Haudenosaunee and Anishanaabe People for sharing this beautiful land. The territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Agreement.
