Holiday Sweat-er at Cyclogik, Friday Dec. 7 !!!

Yes, it is that time of year already!  On thursday the kind folks at Cyclelogik will be clearing space on the walls of their shop for the annual art show curated by none other than artist and self-described art-pusher, Andrea Stokes.  The opening takes place Friday night and the place is always packed to the rafters (I'm not kidding), so come early and get your Christmas shopping done.  Over 40 of this city's intriguing artists are represented with small and medium sized works for every collectors budget.  Art, bikes and coffee--an unbeatable combo.  See you there!

Occupy: the show continues

Occupy continues at Cyclelogik , 1111A Wellington St. Opening night was packed to the rafters and I was pleased to sell one of my pieces. My "Longhorn" sculpture is hanging in the window (thanks Andrea!). I snapped this picture on my way home from work in the wee hours. The show continues until the end of the month, so drop by for a coffee and check out some local art over the holidays.

From the Archives: 1992

Whilst cleaning out the shed, I came across these slides. No kidding. They were in a bin in the shed.

This was taken at the old sculpture studio at U of Ottawa. I was doing these large abstact paintings at the time and had constructed a screen of found debris to hang in front. The hanging piece was meant to echo the shapes in the painting and it, in turn was painted with black and white.

The viewer was invited to walk in the space between the painting and the hanging.

This may have been inspired by seeing footage of Jackson Pollock painting on clear glass, the viewpoint being from the other side of the glass.

101 Frames at Gallery 101, Sat. Dec. 6

Here is my piece for the Gallery 101 fundraising auction 101 Frames. The gallery provides the empty frame and it is up to the artist to fill it. The topic for this year is LUST. I chose to use the wholesome Quaker from the Life cereal box, who has popped up in previous collages. The words that are partially obscured by the chain, read goodness inside. I got to use the security chain from my old apartment and behind the crack in the door there is a mirror, so it looks like there is light and movement behind the door.
The auction takes place this Saturday night at 301 1/2 Bank st. (upstairs) and proceeds go to this non-profit, artist-run centre in downtown Ottawa.

SKETCH at SAW gallery: Friday Nov 28, 8 pm to 1 am

collage and paint on a no-name waffle box

I submitted this collage for the SKETCH fundraiser at SAW Gallery . This is not the finished version, which I forgot to scan--I changed the text and altered the position of the text bubbles.

The event was Friday night. I worked late, but attended with friend and fellow contributing artist Katie . There was a good crowd to purchase work donated by over 100 local artists. Artists were asked to donate un framed sketches, collages, roughs and the like to be sold for prices starting at $10. with all proceeds going to SAW for future programming.

Strathcona Park

Well, tommorow is Art in Strathcona Park. Keep your eyes on the skies and note that they have posted a raindate for Sunday. Currently, the forcast is for rain late in the afternoon, and there are also showers forcasted for Sunday, so...? I suspect that unless it is pouring rain first thing in the morning, that they will go ahead with it on Sat. I am usually set up at the

Somerset st. end of the park, on the path not far from the parking area.

The Ottawa Farmers' Market is relocating to Sylvia Holden Park during the EX, and I am NOT planning to be there on the 10th, 17th and 24th of August. The Market will continue during this time with many of the Market regulars, so stop by and check out the lovely park atmosphere. Here are the details:
