About a decade ago I stepped back from large projects, from painting on canvas, and
started working in small format. This small format work ranges from photo-montage
with collage, to drawing with the addition of collage, to work with coloured pencils
with or without collage or tape. One basic theme is men at work, either men at
war or men and technology. The other theme is the natural and historical landscape
of Ontario. The first theme is photo-based and representational, while the second
is imaginary and non-representational except for bits and pieces. And I continued
to draw from “nature”, my Hospital work and PBS drawings. All of the above work
is in the Gallery..
The Archive of the website covers work before 2000: my acrylic paintings and sculptures
in wood, paintings and drawings of the three-member JAC collective (1980s), mixed
media work and sculpture of united artists, Gerrard Pook and I (late 1980s), drawings
and jottings in the Casey House guest book of Clarence Barnes (1935-1995).
