Not For Sale
This piece started out as a contemplation of the Fraser Canyon landscape, where I spend as much time as possible-- but for many reasons that concept went its own way. In its place appears a wintery landscape inset with stenciled iron and an inscribed orthographic view of a wheel. And gold ore (as befits the canyon).
I want to add an acknowledgement that I have lived and worked in the unceded traditional territories of the Nlaka'pamux (people of the Fraser Canyon)... a place where a great deal of gold was mined by non-native peoples.

"In a society dominated by consumer appeals and market research, I want to paint an opportunity to stop scrolling, to see to the root of something that matters, or at least breathe some clean air. I want us to remember our collective right to live in authenticity, without guilt."
