WORK SHOWN COLLECTIVELY

THE TIDE IS HIGH
2012- September 6th– October 5th
Gallery fukai, Vancouver, BC

Last year a close friend and colleague of mine sent me an email intended for his partner.








The email was, admittedly, humorous from a sardonic perspective -loaded with frustrations cliche to many gender related archetypes. It helped to release my own frustrations to the same stereotypical aspects  I had experienced in previous relationships and relieved some of those frustrations for me vicariously through this email I had received. 
Inlay
I kept the email, inspired by it's humor and ability to relieve my own frustrations I thought I might find the opportunity to use it for something and share this vicarious experience creatively.


Back and Front
The opportunity arose upon hearing from another friend and director/ curator of Gallery Fukai in Vancouver, BC.
Their opening season exhibition booked for Sept 2012 had surprisingly canceled  which prompted the curator to put together a last minute group exhibition and so put a call out to his peers for submissions suiting the titled theme of the show "Excuse Me, How Rude!"- and obvious catharsis as a result of the untimely cancellation of the initially intended exhibit.

As the initial email was accidental, I wanted to get additional perspectives, both male and female, on a wider variety of  relationship entailed situations and so I put out my own call and received a variety of submissions - after much review, retaining each submissions original grammar, punctuation and syntax- the four shown here make up the limited edition series of 10 sets.
