While I’ve been buried in the studio painting, it was a nice reminder this week that the work has a life outside the algorithm. Grateful to see Carts of Darkness featured by Artforum I’ve always moved between disciplines—film, painting, photography, sculpture, whatever medium best tells the story. Onward!

“Thermal Logging Cult PNW” 48” x 96”. Mixed Media on Canvas. 2026. I don’t remember a British Columbia without wilderness, but I do remember one with more room to breathe. Decades of relentless expansion have left people and wildlife negotiating the same shrinking landscape. These paintings are less about conflict than coexistence after the boundaries have disappeared. *The collisions are not failures of nature. They are consequences of our success at reshaping it.

Looking at British Columbia, this messy coast, our culture leaves behind traces of itself through recreation, technology, industry, and ritual. These symbols muster into a landscape that doesn’t care, yet quietly absorbs them into a hidden portal. The painting explores that uneasy trip in which human ambition is fleeting and nature remains constant and sick of healing us. BC Arts Council

Untitled (for now). 2026. Mixed Media on Canvas. 48” x 96”. The coast remembers nothing the way we do. Our routes, rituals, victories, and obsessions pass through the same wilderness that carried wolves before us and will carry others long after. This painting traces those messed up migrations, where culture and nature briefly collide before skizziling back into the rain. BC Arts Council

Untitled (so far), 2026. Mixed media on canvas. 48” x 96”. Along the rain-soaked edges of Vancouver, its culture leaves behind gestures, smoke, and ghosts, believing the ocean will keep its secrets. This painting inhabits the place where wilderness quietly outlives every human story. BC Arts Council

New series inspired by the book title and very strong island women I have been honoured to have sit for me. The idea was utilize this office chair I never get to sit in and have guests in my studio for community interaction, avoiding sometimes months of no studio guests as I work very rurally on an island. I have asked them each to bring an object importantant them at the moment. The session is max 3 hours, and I task myself with fully completing the piece. These paintings are mixed media on linen and 3’x4’ in size. I’m learning figurative painting, teaching me to look deeper at light, line, and colour. Spring 2026. In order so far .on.blonde66
