Hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,
I just came up with a dope idea.
I'm going to shorten the name to "ARBOR COLLECTIVE" in case anyone gets confused, the trip AAAC is cool, but brevity is cooler. AND, i'm going to work on an artist in residency program where we get an artist, and work together as a true collective somewhere out at Shuswap lake, and build a barge/houseboat, create art, display art on the vessel, learn water safety, create ecological awareness of the impact of thousands of people living near the water, the land, the aquatic wildlife, float around the shuswap doing out-stallations (outdoor exhibitions) and workshops, as well as working on community gardens and creating awareness of food solidarity before floating down the South Thompson river and having an exhibition in Kamloops at the End of Summer.
how cool is that?
i'm gonna make it happen.
in the meantime, i've been drawing and painting again i am stoked.
here's a sketch i did the other night when i couldn't sleep. norval morrisseau rocks!
all the bets,
cb
