"People's relationship to landscape is one of the most significant expressions of culture, in many respects equal in importance to the relationship to the sacred"

John Beardsley in his book Earthworks and Beyond: Contemporary Art in the Landscape   (New Yrok: Abbeyville Press Publishers, 2006)

Last Saturday, I went to the opening of this mural produced by Grace Channer, Sandra Brewster and Jay Stewart in collaboration with Sketch and DeSantos Martial Arts.

BUT MEANWHILE

All through the speeches and martial arts demo, this kid was absorbed in his books.

Kings and Queens

A haiku for Toronto created from TTC subway station names. Done in collaboration with Calwyn Shurgold.

By placing a constraint of time and limiting ourselves to the language of subway tiles, we allowed ourselves to step outside of our individual practices to see what we would produce as a team.
