I’m working away on the work one does in order to make one’s own work here in beautiful Sherbrooke, Quebec. I’m here for a residency at the misc. gallery, which is curated by Zachary Gough, the gallery intern. Zach interviewed me, and you can listen to that here. I might swear a little in it, but [...]
I am currently working away on this project thanks to a grant from ArtsNB. YAY!
I did a residency at Struts Gallery in Sackville, New Brunswick for a month in the fall of 2011. I spent the month writing a hand-written personal letter to each of my facebook friends. As I wrote them, they were posted to the wall of the gallery. They were subsequently mailed out to everyone at [...]
I grew up in the suburbs, in a really lovely child-friendly neighbourhood. The kids had free rein, and we would get together and run around on the streets and in the neighbours yards. The grown-ups also seemed to have free rein, a number that my parents were friends with would drop by often; they’d knock [...]
I’m co-hosting a contemporary art radio show. Woo! ^ that’s a link above this text. Pierogi Night is a radio show Jared Peters and I broadcast and record at CFMH, the local campus radio station. The blog has links to mp3 files as well as images to accompany the individual episodes. It’s Fun!

I fixed up a very treacherous but frequently used shortcut in my backyard in the winter of 2007. As it’s steward for about three months (until I moved away), I repaired a barn door that was in the way, put gravel on the path, and put up a chalkboard and shelf on the barn next [...]
I took possession of the 3 foot wide , 30 foot long alleyway between my house and my neighbour’s house. I painted it white for the length of it and about 12 feet up. I then decorated it as a home-y living room , (curtains, commercial art, shelves, wall-phone, mirror, faux-hearth with mantle etc.) and [...]
On the day of the Go North! festival, I had a bicycle wash in front of the Nauss bike shop in North End Halifax. In exchange for writing the stories of their first real bike love, I cleaned the bikes of participants who happened by. I created swag (flags, patches, spoke cards, art fresheners) and [...]
I’m interested in the a parallels between sport and performance: to this end, I trained for three months for a triathlon; learning the culture and rituals of this particularly intense sport. It’s very ritualistic and intense. I kept detailed documentation of my runs, swims, walks, meals, etc. This project is on hold and being further [...]
I participated in the group show “Re: Directions” which was installed at the SEEDS gallery in March, 2008. This show was co-curated by Emily Davidson and Scott Rogers. For this show, students fron NSCAD and ACAD exchanged directions. I sent directions to create a tin can telephone long enough to connect the two schools, which [...]
