This is Chonks, he use to be the neighbourhood stray that would sneak in our house at night to eat. After about 4 years of earning his trust he felt safe enough to come hide out after he had been in a bad fight. He is the sweetest cat, love that he decided to live with us

Chonks, the stray cat sitting in the open window waiting until he felt it was safe to sneak into the kitchen to eat. Once I knew he was coming in, there was always an open window for him to come in to eat and to get out of the bad weather when needed This was Chonks after he came back from the vet after his fight, he was covered in deep bite wounds. Even being in so much pain he was a sweet fella, he never tried to bite or even growl at me or the vet A pic of my feet and Chonks feet out stretched on the couch, hanging out watching tv and getting some belly rubs

Adding messages to the material. This is the wool from my baby dress and I am encoding it with painted messages

Deconstruct to reconstruct - taking apart the clothing I wore a baby to use in new projects, a start of a series exploring family, expectations, outcomes and autonomy

Yellow and white knitted baby dress from 1972 Yellow and white ball is wool from baby dresses from 1972. White balls have messages encoded on the wool Black and white self portrait photo on translucent acrylic skin, suspended inside a white frame with crocheted white wool from my baby sweater from 1972. Title “Others” 24”x24” artist statement "Although we might each feel like isolated islands seeking connection, no islands have a greater impact on us than the individual members of our own families. While we are unique individuals within this family archipelago, the shared history and bonds profoundly shape who we are. Our familial roots are deeply embedded in us, but it is our responsibility to determine how the past will shape our future."

The herring run is a sure sign that spring has come to #vancouverisland. The #herringroe attach to the seaweed and become exposed at low tide. They look beautiful in the evening light... we really do live in an amazing place.

These photos are from mid March 2023

I have a friend who is working on a website for me, so it has (once again) forced me to get photos of my work organized. Today's focus was photography and came across these that I thought I'd share

a detailed photo of 2 6" x6" paintings, The colours are shades of teal ranging from very dark to very light and shades of fuchsia contrasted with white paint. The paintings have lot of texture from the use of crackle paste and the dripping and pouring of the paint. the canvases are mounted on wood cradle panels and the sides are finished with upholstery tacks 5 of the small paintings that match the description of the first photo, resting on a much larger canvas that is a wip
