Drawing the Canada-Wide Science Fair

This May 13 – 17, fifteen artists and I will get together to Draw the Canada-Wide Science Fair with the University of Lethbridge Art Gallery.

Commenters Without Borders

Fascinated by the backlash to mainstream media’s tolerance of racist commentary on their platforms. Finally! Today seemed to hit a breaking point when the Nanaimo Daily News published an ignorant, intolerant letter by Doug Olsen. Sensationalism at the cost of civil dialogue, editorship and fact-checking.

The Neighbourhood

Today on our walk to the woods we took a slightly different route. We found a street in our neighborhood that we didn’t know existed. 8 years here, prowling around, and new avenues are still opening up.

Calculated Risks / Pragmatic Leaps

Holy crap: the plan is working. My decision to leave the Most Stable Job in the World in order to pursue ‘the untenured life’ as Ann Cline calls it has been a topic of almost continuous contemplation over the past year. Nagging thoughts (surely I have the tools and skills, I know Rod does, surely…

The Structure Disappears and All Phases are Visible

Margo and I are in Richmond, Virginia, getting ready to give a talk about DesignInquiry at VCU today. We are rounding up as many DI alumni and sympathizers as we can find, to generate the kind of community that DI has while in situ, at an accelerated pace. I think we’ve even got some dogs…
