A work that left the studio in the summer of 2002 was:
     "Property Lines - A  Mercator  Projection"
     This painting, 15" x 90", presents a view of the Colombia
     River Valley near Radium B. C. and observes the translation
     of land into real estate. This scene comprises a 370 degree
      rotation around the compass which is flattened and spread
      out as a map of the globe would be, stitching together  
      the fragmentary experience of place and time.

An earlier series "Off on a Tangent" employs several degrees of illusion
    in each work. As the clarity of the illusion melts into 
    painted marks, the poetry of the subject-matter takes on changing .
    implications. There are allusions to the passage of time and memory 
    in the slide between the dissolving and resolving images.
    Tangent IV, 1:1

Two works, a drawing and a painting were in a group exhibition at the
    McMichael Museum of Canadian Art. One is included in the essay
    In the Wilds: Canoeing and Canadian Art
