Heroes in the Seaweed
Mixed media acrylic and metal leaf paintings showing at the Lookout Gallery, Regent College, UBC, Vancouver, BC
​from June 27th to July 26th, 2018

 
 A lot of the images in this series were provoked by the content of my ipod,    Leonard Cohen’s Lyrics from Susanne and The Future:
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
and Tom Waits lyrics from “The Earth Died Screaming:
There was thunder, there was lightning
Then the stars went out
And the moon fell from the sky
It rained mackerel, it rained trout
And the great day of wrath has come
And here's mud in your big red eye
And the poker's in the fire
And the locusts take the sky
Well, the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
Dreaming of you
