48" H x 70" W The four segregation signs shown above are the background for the Chieftain Bar. This sign was actually a handwritten paper sign that a young female employee working at Tim Horton's in Lethbridge, Alberta had posted in the drive thru window in 2007. As unbelievable as that is, this kind of shite still happens.

The Chieftain Bar

Here is an exterior and interior picture of the Chieftain Bar...completed today!

I used three historical photographs as the inspiration for the Chieftain Bar installation. They are shown below.

Oiled Birds

Oiled Bird Series (2010) Hand Built paper clay, glass eyes, commercial glazes

I definitely need to take these out to a beach area to document them...will post new pics as soon as I can get that done.

Ok...here they are...under the Pattullo Bridge in Surrey...Might make another trip on another day...brought the dog with me...not a great idea!

UPDATE:

OMG!!!!! Just received my backlit duratran print of the Oiled Birds from the States today. I am absolutely loving it!

My friend Lawrence finally called and delivered my new computer. I am hoping to get started on my collage series of Whites dressed as Indians..I also want to get one more project completed. It's been awhile since I've had the finances to work on projects...it's great to see my ideas coming into reality. Thank you BC Arts Council!
