SSHRC success!

What a great way to start off a birthday!!

COmotion!!!

We just finished our last day of a SUPER awesome COmotion. We made a 30 second piece with the grade 7 & 8s at David Livingstone School in Winnipeg’s inner city. Our stop-motion deals with their social studies topic, ‘water as a basic human right.’ I’m so excited to see the final outcome, as I think the art work and animation produced at this workshop were the best yet!! Stay posted to see the video!

blah blahbing @ the Brown Bag Series (Hexagram)

I gave a presentation at Hexagram: Centre for Research Creation. It was really helpful to present my work and speak to academics about the research I have been doing. They provided me with so much good feedback, reading suggestions, and food for thought.

The Paper Trail

I did some tests today with the Paper Trail. Here are some photos of my experiments:

MFA exhibition

The projector installation is complete.

The vernissage is tomorrow! If you’re in Montreal you should come out and see all the work Concordia Masters of Fine Arts students have been making. See more Info in the picture.

Sunny studio day!

…some of the things I have been working on this term.

Art Education Graduate Symposium

I gave my first conference presentation! I decided to present my COmotion Project and discuss creative collaboration. Lately I have been incorporating a ‘Collaborative Story Construction’ into my presentations, imploring the audience to participate in writing a story by providing a new word every few slides.

Here are some photos from the event and a few of my presentation slides:
