I was recently included in a small publication put out by the Draftery entitled ‘the Draftery: Fig.01′. It features me along with 4 other artists/architects that work within the realm of architectural representation. I’ve seen some sneak peaks and publication looks great. It is being printed in a limited run of 90 copies so if you happen to like what you see pick one up. Hopefully this first of a long series of publications that help showcase the work of architecturally trained artists.
Just a few shots from the exhibition in New York @ Nancy Margolis Gallery which came down earlier this month. All the exhibition spaces looked great and I was very happy to share in the event with artists, Erin and Harry. Thanks to everyone who could make it out.
Running from December 8, 2011 – January 14, 2012
Please join me for the opening reception of Harry Roseman: Enfold at Nancy Margolis Gallery. I’ll have some work up on display and am proud to be sharing some wall space with two artists who have great mastery of line — Harry Roseman and Erin Murray. So if you’re in the New York area or are thinking of travelling down I’d be really pleased to see you.
It’s been a hot few months but i’m looking forward to tinkering in the studio this fall without fear of excessive Vitamin D seeping through the window. I’m working on a few new projects, taking print-making classes this fall, and in prep-mode for a show at LE gallery in the fall. Hope to have some new images available soon but for now here is some snaps of the recent Artspin show that just came down. Thanks to everyone who sent an email or were able make it by a show this summer. Your support is greatly appreciated. photo credit: artspin
Join me and a host of other artists at 99 sudbury for the 2nd annual Artspin Curated Exhibition. After walking through it again the other day, I have to say it’s a very strong show. All the artists did a great job and if you’re up for a night of art join us for the opening on Thursday, August 25th, 2011. I don’t believe you’ll be disappointed. As the title suggests, I”ll be exhibiting ‘the Mausoleum’ again and am looking forward to seeing it in a new setting. Hope to see you there!

Unstationary Station: July 23 – Sept. 4, 2011

The old Whitby Junction has moved twice over the years before it landed at its current resting spot as Whitby’s free public art gallery, next to Iroquois Park. Featured Artists Myung-Sun Kim, Edward Lin, Tom Ngo, Kira Varvanina, Charline Wang have created an exhibition that explores the idea of architecture that moves.
A few weeks back Mani Mani, Will Klassen and I created an installation for Relative Space as part of the Conversations In Design symposium. Here are a couple of quick pics. It is a drawing machine which is centered around the theme of ”Crowdsourcing”. At the entrance, guests were greeted by two stanchions which read Create or Destroy. Each stanchion was equipped with a sensor that read the participants decision. If the observer chose ‘Create’ a coloured pen would be loaded into the machine; if they chose ‘Destroy’ a black one would be loaded instead.
A video will follow shortly which will better explain the piece in motion. Photo credit: Relative Space.
New Show this Friday, September 10th at 7pm @ Le Gallery (1183 Dundas) Hope to see you there.
A while ago I was asked to help organize an exhibit for Moriyama & Teshima Architects and Planners. It opened on April 4th at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre and was well attended even though it was easter weekend. Here are some pics from the opening and if you have a chance to check it out please do. Some great work produced through the years. Flyer Credit: Cheryl Wang, Photo Credits: Hashem
I’m back after website revamping. Thanks again to Edward Solodukhin for the site face lift. Here are some pics of the pieces currently up at the Spoke Club. The work is being shown along side my friend Mitchell Chan’s amazing interactive sound installation and painted sketches. The show is entitled Visions of the Amen.
I’m reposting the images from OCAD’s Whodun?t. Thanks to everyone who could make it out. If you bought the piece on the right please send me an email – I have something for you.
In other news, i’ll be taking part in the BOOM! exhibit at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga. I know it’s a little bit of a trek out there but the opening reception is Thursday, December 3rd from 7-9. Hope to see you there.
I’ve got some new images. These are 3 of the 7 images that are up right now at Le Gallery at 1183 Dundas St. W. It’ll be up for another 2 weeks along with work by artist Ben Oakley and Kal Mansur. Definitely go check their work out if you’ve got a chance.
Well we got some exciting news. I recently spoke to Wil Kucey over at Le Gallery here in Toronto and he’ll be picking me up as one of his artists. I’ve got a few pieces available at that gallery so feel free to swing by to take a look at the gallery. He’s a really friendly guy and the art that is currently on exhibit is great also.

So the Lennox Show was just taken down but luckily the people at Commute Home let me put an installation up in their studio space. It’s at 135 Tecumseth St. but it’s not open to the public. If you’d really like to see it just let me know and we can arrange something. This is, of course, an expansion of the Mausoleum that I designed as part of a crit week that Mitchell Chan and I did earlier on in the summer. It’s now 9 books and a lot more pens.
Thanks to all who came out on opening night! It was a really fun evening and everything went quite smoothly. The show will be up for another 2 weeks so if you haven’t gone yet or would like to show someone else you still can. The gallery is open Thursday through Sunday, 12-5pm.

Also, check out the video of the drawing machine.

A formal thank you to all that came out to the booth during the expo! It’s been quite a nutty time with my studio partner moving out to go to school and with me starting a few new collaborations. But I haven’t forgotten my commitment to you. This is one of the images from the triptych entitled ‘the Decline’.
