Every year, Alberta Printmakers’ holds an exhibition and exchange where artists submit ten prints and receive eight random ones from the exchange in return. I created the print below for the event. Its an 8″ x 10″ silkscreen called “Weight of Movement”.

Portfolio Exchange with Zayed University in Dubai
At the start of the fall semester, an opportunity arose for ACAD’s print media students to exchange work with students at Zayed University in Dubai. We jumped at the chance to connect with a far-away institutions and to see what sort of prints are being made in the desert. The prints have arrived and we were treated to a lovely range of mostly dry points and linocuts. My contribution is below:

Missed Connection/Connection Portfolio for SGC
Lisa Turner invited me to participate in a portfolio project for the upcoming SGC conference in San Francisco. There’s a stellar list of people involved and I’m looking forward to seeing what the likes of Mark Bovey, Beth Howe, Sean Caulfield (and many more) have made. My contribution is related to my new body of work about experiences with auto-immune illness. My work looks at the effects of the destruction of connections between nerve endings caused by the destruction of myelin.

On The Bus at the EPCOR CENTRE for the Performing Arts
The portfolio that I organized after my trip to China for the Qijiang Printmaking Festival is currently being exhibited at the EPCOR CENTRE for the Performing Arts here in Calgary. They have a series of window galleries that feature small project works. Its been great to reconnect with some of the international artists that I met on this trip through this exhibition. If you hit up a play at the Centre in the next few months, be sure to take a look.

John Snow House Portfolio Fundraiser
I was invited by the New Gallery to participate in their portfolio fundraiser for the John Snow House. Ten artists with a connection to the artist-run centre were invited to create a single-colour digital image that they printed on John Snow’s old relief press. My contribution and an image of the press are below. It marks the first time that someone else has printed one of my images. The full folio is available for purchase from the New Gallery.
High Five
As I discussed in a previous post, I am participating in an interesting portfolio exchange where the artists involved are responding to each other’s prints. Here is my response to Lou Joseph’s piece. I’m looking forward to seeing his response to mine.
