You Are Here

Did I mention that we moved to Guelph? We did. One of the cool things that we learned about Guelph after arriving here is that the Guelph Arts Council has made partnerships with local businesses and building owners to feature local artwork in shop windows that are located on busy streets with lots of foot traffic! I (Devon) proposed an installation piece for the second round of the Hatch Project and they accepted my proposal for installation in the window of Budd's (a classic department store and Guelph mainstay on Wyndham street since 1926)! Here are some pictures of me creating the piece:

As you can see from the last photo, YOU ARE HERE is a hand-illustrated map of Guelph that does not refer to physical landmarks, but attempts to trigger emotional resonances with experiences of the city. If you'd like to see it the installation with be up until the end of October.

Little Deaths at Ace Art

Here are some pictures I took during the installation of my piece entitled "Some Memories About Memory," which was part of a group show presented by MAWA called Little Deaths.

Stylus Cover!

Sorry for my delinquency fans, I was in Costa Rica teaching for 2 months; hence the tan if you see me in the streets of Wpg. What I should have posted in April was the cover of the April/May issue of Stylus magazine, which featured an illustration by Devon! It looked like this:

They also used a detail of it on their website, which looked like this:

It's an ink drawing with watercolour detail in a springtime palette (in my opinion). I love it - don't you?

Curtis:
Here's a drawing that Devon did recently for a show poster. The event was a Mark Templeton show, so I asked her to draw a laptop with a bunch of nature imagery popping out of it. I thought it would suit his audio aesthetic. The night itself was pretty fun, although the sound system at Ragpickers is no good for laptop shows (for future reference). If you came to the show, thanks!
