It's been about a month since I arrived home from the Late Winter Intensive Residency at the Banff Centre. So high time to upload some photos of the open studio, eh what?
The project I worked on during the residency was called An Open Love Letter, a project that built on the ideas in The Floor We Walk On. Further information about this residency and my project can be found by clicking riiiight ... here!

It was a great pleasure to write a piece for Art New Zealand about Nick Spratt and his tenure as a RM co-director. Writing this was a fascinating experience: Nick was an extremely generous, knowledgeable and interesting person to interview, and RM's history, stretching from downtown Auckland in the 90s to K'rd today, is an important part of New Zealand's art history.
And what a glorious cover! Looking good, Evan!
For the month of March, I am one of the artists in residence at The Banff Centre in Alberta, Canada, and I must say the welcoming committee was quite something!
Day One: Mountain Standard Time; 1400-odd metres above sea level; 800-or-so kilometres to the coast.
The Floor We Walk On is currently showing at The Dowse Art Museum in Sian Van Dyk's exhibition Suburban Dreams. I'm so very excited to be a part of this gorgeous show, which features work by Joanna Margaret Paul, Ruth Cleland, Yvonne Todd and Steve Carr among many other excellent artists.
After winning the Parkin Drawing Prize in September, The Floor We Walk On is soon to be a part of Suburban Dreams at The Dowse Art Museum from 30 January to 29 May, 2016. Curated by Sian van Dyk, the exhibition, "[...] explores the place of suburbia in our lives, finding significance and complexity in the commonplace."
