This fall I was honoured by the SAW Award for New Works. A great pick me up during the pandemic! Sure wish I could spend time in person with the rest of the gang who received the award, so many interesting and talented people. I plan to use the funds and resources to film and perform my piece "Explaining Pictures to a Dead Beuys" a compassionate critique of the artist Joseph Beuys and his relationships with animals. I plan to access the SAW studios over the holidays. Hopefully I will be performing the piece in the spring in an outdoor context.
In other news, my series Ruptured Planes is featured in this year's issue of Experiment-O, an art and poetry mag which is a publication of Angel House Press. This issue is dedicate to the fragile and the flawed, refreshing considering capitalist society would generally have us be bullet proof and flawless. Follow the link and check out the many writers and visual artists presented including contributors from Australia, Germany, the US, the UK and of course Canada. My thanks to editor Amanda Earl for asking me to participate!
