On the Road Again

Leaving for Thailand, Cambodia and Laos and when I get back I do hope you will enjoy my photos, at least 1000 I am sure, of monks, temples, food, Buddhas and all other lovely things I will encounter!

Toronto

I went to an artist creative spaces conference in Oct 09 and here are some photos I took...I was born and raised in TO so was great to see all the changes.

Eastside Culture Crawl

This work is what I showed at the Eastside Culture Crawl this year.

I decided to work on a different theme this year and it was all about round things. I called the show ORB BITS.

MORE MASKS

This series of photos is part two of our art collection. This first mask is by Davide Pan, a local Vancouver artist who uses a lot of found metal to create his sculptures. This one is made out of the top of a small oil drum.










This one as well is made from part of an oil drum














This is the first mask we bought in Baja, Mexico.
I love the real horns and donkey teeth.






















This last mask is a talking mask and made by a local first nations person. Notice on the bottom of the mask there is a wooden handle...the person wears the mask over his face and pulls the handle to make the raven talk. This is a very important part of the native ceremonies.
