I will check out your suggestions. Unfortunately I have another engagement this coming Thursday, it would have been a great opportunity to (maybe) talk with you for a few minutes…perhaps another time. I will try to get to Science World to see the coiled river ivy project, as soon as I can!
Thanks again!
Melanie

Also, on my website look for the MOPARRC newsletter link – top right, and subscribe to that- I don’t really blog about projects on my website- just update pages, but send out a newsletter every 4-6 weeks with project updates and workshop info. ANd- Yes, the crab park canoe is still there- this is the second one, and I will be at Science World this Thursday Feb 2nd from 6-7pm for the little reception under the coiled river ivy project made with community throughout 2011. come by if you can! all the best! Sharon

I was rather taken by the presentation at Capilano University in October 2011 (Place Art Community) when I was first introduced to your work. You have not left my mind since then! As an ECCE Degree student at Cap and an Early Childhood Educator at UBC, I am always thinking about ways to incorporate nature into artistic experiences with the children.
You have inspired me and I would like to learn more about you and your techniques. I will check out the link above for help with our Willow Hut that is growing wildly out of control, as I would love to shape it into something really interesting.
For my Art As Inquiry project (Sylvia Kind is my instructor), I have chosen you as my artist of interest. Where might I be able to see one/some of your (community) installations in person? Is the canoe still in place at Crab Park pond? Is there anything more interactive?

Thank you for the inspiration and the amazingly labor intensive work you and the people around you do!
Melanie

I was just speaking with your parents last night, at my parents’ home, about your work and thought I would check out your website. I love your work! How fresh and innovative and the materials are amazing. Congratulations on your wonderful career!

I was just looking for like-minded artists and opportunities to exhibit, make more work that evolves around rainforest vegetation and big trees…am from Northern Ontario.
And came across the fantastic ephemeral project realized at Stanley Park a while back…and found your site..
I can totally relate, there is so much to do while working with nature rather then against it. Thanks for sharing. Nice work.

(couldn’t find them online) thanks! Hannah
