Pink escapes

Exploring the idea of unused, secret spaces. But, pink! I had to paint it pink. I was in a bit of a hurry and couldn't document the process...Next time, promise.

Visible/invisible

Another journal




I finished another fabric covered journal from reclaimed materials. I still haven't perfected how to bind the pages together, but it's functional at least.

Crooks, est 1982

Found in an Annex alley: interesting use of back parking lot space. I hope that this installation was created just because he/she felt like it.

Guerilla gardening

I spotted this on Queen Street West this weekend. What a brilliant idea! I hope I see more and more of these around the city. Incidentally, this ivy is the only type of plant I can keep alive in my apartment.

In progress

I've been screen printing my escape drawings on these Moleskins for the past two weeks and generally messing around.


Here's some more. I might end up cutting these up and using them for something else. I like the idea of overlapping these in between lines with other shapes/things and seeing what happens.

Marina City collage, check

Finally finished! It took some time because
a) I've been filling my time with other projects;
b) The paper pieces are minuscule and the work was too physically tiring to do for more than an hour at a time;
c) I was resisting finishing.




Now that's it over, all I want to do is keep running my fingers over the teeny, crispy, glued pieces of paper.

Bank on Art

Bank on Art is an upcoming project by Kelly McCray where art will appear before and after banking transactions on ATMs. There will also be an accompanying online directory to promote the artists' work. The first ATM will be in Edward Day Gallery in August 2009.

Neat concept: I like the merging of currency and art. I wonder if there's a way to siphon money to the artists whose work appears on screen?
