A many-layered thing
November 19, 2012
The other day, while putting together my presentation for the Surrey Art Gallery, I came across some old photos that I had taken of a couple of my self-portrait paintings in progress.

November 20, 2011
There has been a recurring motif in my work this year, and I thought I’d share a few of my thoughts on this: The Wolf. It was wholly unintentional, but the wolf has been popping up in my work all year long. It first started at the beginning of the year, when I made my [...]

October 15, 2011
While I was making my blue cotton candy animation/video, I was also taking a lot of photos in the blue rooms of the Old Inn at Ox-Bow. I did a few different series of works and here are just a few from my mirror series. More from the other series to come soon.

Eating the blues
October 6, 2011
I’m well into the last week of my residency now at Ox-Bow and am working on a few different projects before cleaning up my studio. Here’s one project that I just worked on yesterday. There is this amazing building here called the Old Inn, and there are old bedrooms where students stay here during the [...]
