Pivots
The landscape features most prominently in the body of my work. It is a landscape of suggestion, rather than a faithful figurative rendering; it is a landscape of fiction and abstraction. Major influences on my work have been the Canadian landscape, the tropical forest of the Congo and the land of the Mediterranean/Middle East. Born in Exeter, Ontario,I studied at the University of Prince Edward Island, McGill University in Montreal and the Université du Québec à Trois Rivières.
I always ask one question; when does the unconventional become so utterly conventional as to become uninteresting - dull in fact? I hope these are not dull whatever else they are. Let me know what you think.

The Centrifugal Force
Spinning away from the centre -- off the page entirely.

The force disintegrates in degrees of separation until there is nothing remaining but the dot.

Escaping the Page
Lunar phases circling with regularity; the tides moving with them on a daily basis. We question the pull that orients the flow, that causes tidal bores and storm surges.

Waxing and waning in crescents and orbs, craters rotate in view of everyone.
Then there is the light!
Not to mention the cheese!

Sailing Revisted
“Blown away on water the colour of warm
places, feeling the undertow, the pull of the tides lifting us out to sea, we
live on dreams on cold winter days. On the solstice, close to either pole there
is comfort in this”.
(See 21 June 2013 post "Sailing")
The solstice returns, the same sun
back in a show of strength.
It's time to set sail again; to sail to the land of two moons on leeward winds.

Looks easy.
So, let's go!

Tradition
Tradition -- it is so transitory. It is illusion, something ephemeral and, measured in centuries, it is a fleeting memory of something that has already gone.

Although there is tradition in non-traditional expression.

Is it only a concept then? Like emerging technologies, ever emerging, ever changing, in a line that is ever moving.

Seeing Stars
Seeing stars -- a gift of the darkness of the night. Concussed by other light-sources, we see stars but not those that shine in the dark.
And star-struck we watch.

The Sky Plays While We Sleep
Reflecting the light of the sun the moon marks time. Old and new, waxing and waning, it shines in the sky making magic in the evening.
Is this the month of the blue one?

The Firmament (warning: archaic word)
The vaulting arch of the sky at once luminous, limitless, and ever moving, puts on a planetary show at nightfall. Within their own spheres, in their own orbits, they speak of light from long ago. Such immensity only shows itself in the dark.
No longer navigational guides they have become beacons to our future and objects of wonder.
