We’re doing performances of my “image ballet” on February 28 and March 28. As part of my exhibition at the Legacy. There will be two seatings on each day. Tickets are free but limited given the size of the space. Hope to see you there!

Hase’ Collective’s Ax’nakwala begins with Forestorium, a new full-length, site-specific operatic performance addressing the primary forests of Vancouver Island and the challenges they face. It takes place within one of the few remaining old growth forest tracts located in Ma’amtagila territories.

Glacial Resonance, is a career-spanning monograph that explores my work in endangered glacial environments produced by Western U’s McIntosh Gallery and the Kamloops Art Gallery with support from the Grand Forks Art Gallery. The book will be available through the galleries in the coming weeks.

Now is the time to invest in Canadian culture and future generations, and not the time for cuts to that future

Sorry to learn of the cutting of Fanshawe College's Fine Arts program. Their 3 year program had a long history of excellence for over a half century. My condolences to the students and to my colleagues who dedicated their careers to the success of the program.

You may like it. There’s a good soundtrack and the function of sound recording and processing is the major plot device

Terrifying. Super-scary is that there’s about a thousand different ways this might happen with their current team

It’s been a constant sh*t show since I started teaching. Every year brings new hardship absorbed by faculty and staff at the expense of student experience. Universities are another casualty of neo-liberal corporate “efficiency”.

No other scenario makes any sense- the big one's coming though he's not done

Happy to be working with some familiar faces for this summer’s upcoming action in Ma’amtagila Territory

As artists I believe we have a collective responsibility to help shape the culture we want to live in. #art

And they probably have shitty taste in everything. That’s what happens when you start equating all artistic output as “content” Ooh a play! I’d love to see it! I’m writing an opera- the dumbest thing I’ve done to myself- I have no idea if it’s good, yet I continue

the struggle that they describe is basically what I’ve dedicated my life to. If it was easy I probably wouldn’t do it. In fact I seem to invent new ways to make it more difficult all the time

I like working at home but the dangers are real. That said, when I’m too tired to go anywhere else or have insomnia, putzing around in the studio is great medicine especially if you suffer from anxiety which would feel worse for me than not working at all.

We need art more than ever. Let’s not just allow politicians and billionaires (is there a difference anymore?) with old ideas set the cultural future. #art

A still from the Tom Thomson Centennial Swim in which I swam the length of Canoe Lake on the centenary of Tom Thomson’s death. I was accompanied by a brass ensemble in canoes and a synchronized swimming squad who met up with me at several points along the swim. #contemporaryart #art #videoart
