I sent this to my mother. It had pride of place on her side table for a while, and eventually ended up above the dresser in the scullery, gathering dust. The photo always makes me smile. It looks as if I’m rigged out in a suit and bow tie under the robes, but I was… Continue reading MSc Photo

From page IX of the Preface and Acknowledgements of Meeting the Universe Halfway: “Memory does not reside in the folds of individual brains: rather, memory is the enfoldings of space-time-matter written into the universe, or better, the enfolded articulations of the universe in its mattering.

This is the university in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada where I did the MSc in Physics between September 1975 and March 1978 and is the source of the artefacts in my work. I am writing this post to the gallery (and maybe to the library as well) to gauge their interest in my work. The… Continue reading Contacting the Visual Arts Gallery at Brock University

I went to a pub in Belfast on Thursday night, after visiting the Artcetera gallery, for a wee pint and to waach some rugby on TV. There was a really noisy group at the next table. I recognised their accents – Canadian! I Whatsapped my Canadian ex-girlfriend, Vicki, from the 70s, as we are still… Continue reading Is this an artifact?
