Conversation was the thing I valued most about showing on James North, as well as at the McMaster Museum of Art. The images have created in these spaces a unique opportunity for me to connect with people in a particular kind of dialogue. Aesthetics and process were always a part of these moments of mutual understanding, but an engagement with the abstract, and a searching for memory, spirit, and God have always been present too. It is my hope that in continuing to show in a shared space – with others also on the wall – that the vibrancy might continue. The exhibition here advertised is part of "The Self Proclaimed Artist Show", a group exhibition, opening on Saturday May 9th, at Sealed Art on 89 Gage Avenue South, in Hamilton. I’m not sure if I actually want to "proclaim" anything. But I hope you will proclaim your presence. 🙂
