Oct 14 Port Dover, Ontario
I created this package as part of a submission for a very special indigenous project. It contained images of what I considered to be ten of my strongest pieces along with my personal information. Have you ever thought what your life’s story would look like and if it were to be contained, where would you store it?

Oct 4 Ottawa, Ontario
#flashbackfriday I created these two pieces about ten years ago as a wedding gift. Inspiration was dinner with parents for the first time. The numbers in the bottom right were taken from my status card. I think the name of the work was Company’s coming. If you drop a fork.... someone is coming for dinner. Happy that this is part of a very special collection in Ottawa.

Sep 30 Norfolk Arts Centre
Watermother was unveiled last Wednesday @norfolkartscentre in #simcoe Ontario. With almost 150 marks made by participants sandblasted into the wood you can see we are committed to taking care of the water. These marks will serve as a reminder to do better and ask those around you to do the same. The piece is now part of the NAC permanent collection. Thank you to everyone that made their mark, @christophermcleod_ for his hard work coordinating the projects, @greatartforgreatlakes @waterlution @otf and @norfolkartscentre There are still two pieces of art to be unveiled in this project @piecefularts and @cleaningupnorfolk will have their unveiling Oct 8 @portdoverharbourmuseum and on Oct 18 @logan_staats and @roblamothe @songforthewater will unveil their song. I’m really looking forward to these. @lacievdub has unveiled her awesome work and you can check it out at the farmers market in #Dunnville

Today is Orange Shirt Day. It’s the day we honour those that survived the residential schools and those that did not. You can purchase your own orange shirt at the Woodland Cultural Centre in Brantford. Proceeds from the sale of the shirts go towards the very important Save The Evidence campaign to restore the Mohawk Institute..... Canada’s oldest residential school. Every Child Matters.

Sep 17 Norfolk Arts Centre
Over the summer I invited the public to help me with the creation of my latest sculpture Water Mother. Approximately 150 people came out and made their mark as their commitment to take care of the water and ask those around them to do the same. Tuesday September 24th Water Mother will be unveiled at the Norfolk Arts Centre in Simcoe. I hope you can join us between 4:30 - 7. Admission is free and everyone is welcome.

I survived Friday the 13th in Port Dover and I’m back working on #Watermother Some steel channel from @tillermarineportdover will keep her solid. It’s about to get sloppy in the studio over the next few days while I try something new. Sticky fingers crossed, everything goes as planned.
Aaaand we are blasting.

Sep 9 Port Dover Beach
Getting ready to sandblast #watermother I’m applying the rubber material to the wood. This is one of my favourite images, it was created by my 3 year neighbour Lennon. The beautiful thing about a project like this is that you don’t have all the control. You can take what you know and apply it to what you’re doing, but the results will always surprise you. Tomorrow we will sandblast and work the material, we my even have it ready for the unveiling on September 24th! 😉 I’ll keep you posted.
Some juicy details of #watermother are coming into play. The next week is going to be an interesting one. Enjoy your long weekend friends.

Starting production of my #WaterMother sculpture for @greatartforgreatlakes today. I’ve sourced some beautiful material and have collected over 150 marks from willing participants. Now the fun begins. Unveiling will be at the @norfolkartscentre in Simcoe Ontario September 24th. I’ll post more details about that as we get closer. Thanks to @christophermcleod_ and his team for helping me move this project along. Time to make some sawdust.

Jul 24 Port Dover, Ontario
Going through some old images for a project I’m working on and found this. I haven’t seen it in a long time, but looking at this image today, I can feel it. I painted it in 2003. In the bottom left the words “love is gon today.” Painting heals.
