Off the Walls and Off the Boards
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
Spoke Pieces
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.

The Long Commute
Bashful Mailboxes
No Other Way
Coloured Pencil and Graphite on Paper. 13 in. x 18 in.
No Other Way
A dream house for a meat grinder collector. The above building is constructed of four like facades presenting him a new home every time he arrives by balloon. The structure below is a mental retreat from his constantly changing everyday.
The Swing-Set Houses
The Cheese House
Coloured Pencil and Graphite on Paper. 20 in. x 11.50 in.
The Cheese House
This is an exploration into a radially exploded axonometric drawing. Counter to most exploded axonometric drawings which project orthographically, pieces of the structure are projected radially leaving a swiss-cheese like building.
Namby Pamby
Coloured Pencil and Graphite on Paper. 24 in. x 9.25 in.
Namby Pamby
The repetition of word endings in nonsense poetry creates phonetically appealing words to pronounce. Phrases like Humpty Dumpy and Hey Diddle Diddle are examples of this nonsensical operation. Namby Pamby is an attempt to translate the operation into form.
