Exhibition at Latitude 53

I've got some new work up in the Projex Room at Latitude 53 in Edmonton. A new series of watercolor paintings is there alongside the big 8ft print I did at the Banff Centre. There's also a collaborative drawing that was started at the opening and will be worked on by visitors until the show is over. I'm doing an artist talk on Saturday October 29th at 2pm in the gallery. Interesting comment left in the comment book: "You are not your country or your hobbies" I don't understand but I'm glad I provoked someone.

Here's one of the watercolors from the show

Windows at the Epcor Centre

These are some prints that were made for these windows with the bar down the middle. They're hanging in the display windows outside the Max Bell Theatre in the Epcor Centre until June 21st. 

Local Imprint at ArtPoint Gallery

I have two prints for sale in a member's show with Alberta Printmakers. The opening is tonight from 5-9pm and the show runs until April 31 at Artpoint (1139 11 Street S.E. Calgary) which is in Inglewood area. Here is a preview of the work in the form of screen "ghosts" or the ink that doesn't leave the screen after you print. They are a trace of every image that has been exposed on the screen, and so its a collaborative image. The lady with the gun, the text and the red floral pattern won't appear in my prints but they work nicely in these images.

Newest Watercolour named Dylan

This watercolour is about 14 x 20 on Arches. It's the first in a series of images showing typically distinct, separate, unrelated individuals within each others bodies, exploring a confrontation between demographics that don't have an established relationship, or usually "keep to their own." My sources are usually from newspapers and magazines. In this one, there is a man pictured in the news for his struggle with obesity, and a woman from the fundamentalist church of latter day saints, a wife of past FLDS leader Leroy Johnson and mother of many, many children. The reasons I put them together are not necessarily known to me, but this confrontation between these two different people looked and felt right.
