On Silence:  


 

 Like the land, the studio makes its own silence. Not an emptiness but another sort of nature. Beyond measurement. Some arrangement of full peace.

Artist Statement:

The Land.

It forms our bodies; our character and our identity.

As much as we deny it, the land is who we are.

Canada - its geography - keeps us free. Those of us who can still feel it beneath our hard soles are drawn and sculpted by it.

I am free formed - for as long as I don't deny my connection.

With the Automatists as my point of departure and a Northern "Ouische Breatha" ( obs: the breath of life) as my companion, works transpire.
