"Drawing Is Action became a comforting mantra for me in producing these intimate pieces in my cramped but cherished studio. A kind of paralysis due to decades of emotionally wearing precarious access to workspace has informed these outpourings. Inspired by the GAS open call and created while finally facing the reality that time is up for my studio and the entire complex of active arts spaces at the historic Coffin Factory 89 - 109 Niagara St., Toronto, these drawings are symbolically priced equal to a months rent. With only a few months left, the real work is to offer positive outlooks and forecasts while standing in the disorienting present."
