WINTERHOUSES is an ‘unsequenced’ group of 60 pages of images and language. Symbols, ranging from the scientific to the mythologic, the numinous to the beautiful, and the mysterious to the matter-of-fact weave throughout the work, while changing form on any given page. Metamorphosing interpretation occurs through individual’s random arrangements. Viewers might conjure narratives or simply a singular impression. WINTERHOUSES, like a lot of my work, permits viewer influence. This I hoped would allow me to relinquish control of the project and let it evolve beyond the limited scope of my intentions into its own enduring, adapting, communicating being. This project was made with the generous support of the Manitoba Arts Council

I want my work to not only create and open many doors to an ‘experiential space’ at the intersection of the physical and metaphysical but to allow you to enter many doors at the same time. There the work can act as the social participant, artist mythmaker, and scientific skeptic. ”
