Creating components for the exhibition gave me a chance to reach out to two incredible writers and poets who took time away from their own projects to respond to my work … their contributions are so responsive and profound; each created a work of poetry and read their work in a video narrative with my work. Jenny Haysom is working on a novel and Ian Roy‘s new novel The Girl Who Could Fly is now available. I feel showered in gifts. You can see these videos and more content at espacePAIprojects.

One of the newer projects I was excited to bring out is this freshly-fired work-in-progress, an amphibious craft used in arctic oil exploration that I’m scaling up from my GICB 2017 biennale exhibition piece Reflection Through Time and Ice – HMS Terror. I’m scaling up components from this work from 1-inch to 1-foot. This project explores motives in the history of exploration.
I was excited to discuss these new and ongoing projects and any works big or small that are currently or soon to be at LA Pai Gallery, the General Fine Craft, Craft Ontario, and the Gardiner Museum Shop.

I am honoured to have been included in the juried exhibition Fireworks 2017.
