New book coming out.

It’s printed

It’s alive

Took 4 years to develop

Monographically located, a 5 day conversation between Dieter Roelstraete and I formed a structure for laying out the images of works that appear as they are being mentioned... talking the ideas into existence. Picks up where an article that Dieter wrote about me from 2011 stops off. Boy Vereecken did the design. Southern Alberta Art Gallery in Canada along with the The RBC art collection provided the baking, and MOUSSE did the publishing.

Full of little surprises.

an origin for stripes and dots.

proposing the fabric pattern of dots originated with approximating the fur from a dalmatian. things come from somewhere, no? And those things and that somewhere has a story. drawing with hand-made fabric.

go buy this. or listen.

Working on wall drawings for the last few years, getting closer to the point where a more casual slide into a language can happen. One language to make another. The gesture of space and time articulated one way is now articulated in another.

Shimoda, Japan.

A day shooting with an old digital camera in black and white to make a photo book in a certain style (its like time traveling) while looping in references and image propositions that will transform into narratives of the hazy, maybe even psyche-like, kind.

A button made for the vitrine at frac le plateau. a little summer project with a small xerox text published, a postcard, and a button to accompany the reclining hippy towel installed in the window. All three were given away free when you knocked on the office door during opening hours. In a way I wanted to simulate a very simple and intimidating situation that I’ve found myself in through the years. That moment when knocking on the door is the last thing you want to do, but by doing so a whole other avenue of narrative is opened up.

That’s a lot text for a button...

not exactly all 10, as Tumblr restricts it... but a series of collages based as records covers for 10 albums I use to think with, have thought about, and that produce thoughts. 10 records, 10 void flower drawings. Framed within the space of a black dot/void/record-form. Published by CURA Magazine this past winter 2017.
