Drawing

I've been doing a lot of drawing lately. Partly because I've been working in a collective with Katherine Coe and Rosanne Bennet, called Beautiful Frontier. It has been this great process where I get to make things again - something I miss when I'm taking photographs. I think that's why building sets in photography appeals to me. We recently did an installation at Mountainview Cemetary. The installation was a lantern memorial for people in British Columbia's past who were on the 'outsides' of society: people who had spent time in institutions such as Woodlands, Essondale, and the BC Penitentiary.

I made Caleb into a sleepy bear for a little show out in Ontario I was part of. I ended up using sandpaper to rough it up a little, but in the end wished I hadn't. Oh well!

Caleb and Ruby learning flight patterns.

Again...I wish I hadn't messed with them. They were also kind of sparkly...so they looked like pictures inspired by galaxy exploration.

One of the drawings in my sketchbook for the Art House Co op Sketchbook project. It's quite a bit darker here than in REAL LIFE. My book's theme was 'Revenge'. Rosanne was part of this too...I'll put a link to her work once I get it.
