DIASPORA has screened across Canada and internationally, including in war torn Ukraine.

Nov. 8 - 20

Fleet Gallery, 65 Albert Street, Winnipeg

204-942-8026 

In ‘Play to Audience: a social media addiction’ I take a critical view of social media culture and its implications to our humanity.

Seventeen small paintings on paper, 9” x 12”, of people taking selfies are painted quickly and intuitively, where observer becomes the observed and self consciousness is suppressed by the viewer as voyeur.  

Seven oil paintings, 28” x 34”, of theatre interiors are painted slowly and in many layers, as a process of fusing organic with inorganic elements.  

Loose outlines of human heads suggest at once a conscious, attentive audience, and an unconscious audience, oblivious to being ensnared by social media. 

I am interested in the gap between participation and addiction. At the heart of these paintings is our vulnerability of needing to fit in. There is an amoeba-like quality to how we move in and out of consciousness, where we vacillate between free and parasitic.

2018 Scotiabank Giller Light Bash for Literacy

A delightful evening of good literature, food, and interesting advocates in celebration of Canada's largest literary prize. Listen to local advocates from the community present each Giller shortlist nominated book, dine on a delicious meal, and watch the proceedings on television from Toronto. 

All proceeds benefit Frontier College. Canada's original literacy organization was founded in 1899 on the belief that literacy is a fundamental right.
