explorations: performance for sculpture
During an artist residency at the Banff Centre, I experimented with using drawing and sculpture to express my body movement.
Elements include a spruce tree, tree carving, lathed objects, cast bronze sculpture, wood carvings and several wall drawings of myself performing with a basswood performance prop. Ideas of permanence vs. impermanence were explored and most components of the installation are temporal existing only through documentation.
I produced explorations: performance for sculpture at the Banff Centre with the support of Travel Professional Development grants from the Winnipeg Arts Council & Manitoba Arts Council and the Keith Evans Scholarship from the Banff Centre for the Arts.
