What I'm working on:

@artsudbury is looking for throwbacks from artists who participated in the Emergence high school exhibit over the last 50 years ---> Swipe for photos of my wee baby art self when I participated back in 2007 & 2008. ---> 2007 was my first exhibition outside the walls of @sudburysecondaryschool and I won "Best in Show" for the etching I did of the Sudbury water tower (which now appears on pillows, tote bags, in collages and more). I sold the original print that night to one of the creators of my then-favourite cartoon (Yam Roll) thank you, @jonizen! ---> The following year, in 2008, I participated again during my victory lap and won the Vale award for a mannequin bust I had collaged in its entirety with tiny, tiny words cut out of magazines. ---> Fast forward to last year, when I had the honour of being a part of the jury and helped select the works that made it onto the walls 😄

Here's a throwback to Sybil - an assemblage / sculpture piece I did back in 2007 or 2008 while at @sudburysecondaryschool. I had found a really distraught looking mannequin in the closet of the highschool's art room (complete with red eyes and a pentagram carved into her chest). I bathed her, begged the shop teacher to cut her head open, and gave her a makeover topped off with a bunch of friends. I can still remember the smell of the house paint that had been kicking around for far too long before I dunked those barbies. Sadly, she didn't survive the multiple moves from city to city.. But she did end up making a reappearance as Technomama for my Technobabies show with @pronounciations at @goodluckgeneralstore a couple of years ago. I have a feeling that won't be her final form. 🌿
