The Forks, 98/24. 2024, subscribed "The Grid", 32" x 38", mixed media work on plywood

The Forks is the final work in both the overhead view and Railway Lands sequences. The first overhead view works were done in Montreal c. 1989 and Railway Lands began when I was an artist in residence at Struts Artist Run in Sackville, New Brunswick in 1998. The picture represents the sacred place they call the Forks in Winnipeg. The place is called Niizhoziibean in Ojibwe. It means the two rivers. I chose this place for the last Railway Lands work, because a railway line runs through it.

Life in the Tunnel

Events in the Tunnel, is an experimental representation of Canada’s relationship with its receding modernist colonial past. Based metaphorically on Gordon Lightfoot’s poetic Canadian Railroad Trilogy, Events in the Tunnel presents an absurdist retelling of Canada’s white colonial cultural history as defined, like Lightfoot’s great metaphor by a cross country train trip.

Embedded in the trope we witness familiar 19th and 20th Century paradigms of conformity and the expansion of white middle class consciousness represented by images of travel and amusement and moments that define Canadian colonial cultural history, particularly the dramatized struggles of our great 20th Century Canadian painter Tom Thomson.

Constructed from 8, Super8 and 16 mm. vintage artist films and found amateur footage, Events in the Tunnel is a post-colonial journey through colonized space and time. 

Events in the Tunnel was most recently shown at Fisura in Mexico City
