![In the words of one Tori Amos, it’s a pretty good year. Granted, we’re only seventeen days into it, but… so far so good. I have a number of art-related projects happening in the coming months! International Museum of Women launched Your Voices: On Motherhood in December, which my P. D. A. series is a part of. It’s a preview exhibition of MAMA: Motherhood Around the Globe, IMOW’s flagship exhibition that will be launching online very soon.
Two of my photographs from Our Nature will be printed on 8′ x 2′ wooden panels and remain installed in Metro shelters for up to ten years in Seattle as part of City Panorama, through Photo Centre NW and King County Metro.
Lastly, my most exciting news is that I received my first public art commission! The good news came last week after being shortlisted and interviewed prior to the holidays. It is through the City of Richmond’s Public Art program and will be a collaboration with The Sharing Farm. Tonight’s meeting at City Hall set the wheels in motion. It will be at least the first half of this year in the making and I am looking forward to this amazing opportunity and challenge to broaden my art practice in so many ways.
Last year was also a pretty good year. I finished work at the Richmond Women’s Resource Centre in March (and have still been upkeeping my ties to the great group there), after which I travelled to Singapore and spent three weeks there (my first visit to my birthplace and childhood homeland in something like seven years). After a few months of unemployment and an interesting stint temporarily with the government, I finally found myself back at UBC in a permanent position in August, which I so greatly enjoy. To boot, I moved homes - again - leaving a cold, moldy place in pretty, tree-lined neighbourhood near the water for an apartment further East and a gadzillion times better. Things are swell. How are you??
