What I see becomes a sort of visual illumination, like a match struck unexpectedly in the dark, a gift, lighting my path into wonder -Virginia Woolf

A Hole in the Ground revisited

A project of Inter Arts Matrix

Returning to Sandhills Park to draw with artist, Linda Duvall who is here with her project from August 28 to September 8, 2023. During my time in June the white pines over looking the hole beckoned me to draw them.

Thank you to Inter Art Matrix for choosing me to be in this project. I recognize the funding received by Inter Arts Matrix from the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council, Region of Waterloo Arts Fund and the Waterloo Region Community Foundation.

Thank you WRAF

I appreciate the grant from Region of Waterloo Arts Fund for their support for my project: “So Nature deals with us, and takes away”. This research is based in a practice, which supports consciousness as creative. The practice will delve into the sense faculties to communicate in visual terms truthful pragmatic observations, hopefully also involving moments of laughter. It will allow me to draw/paint/research qualities of “inwardness”.

It is about aging and loss, expressing my inner self through non-objective imagery. Beginning a glimpse of vocabulary.
