Integration

This note is a thank you note.  Thank you to my wife and kids for supporting my artist residency at Contemporary Calgary.  Thank you to my Mom and my Mother and Father-In-Law for caring for our kids in order to help me have the hours to put into my making.  Thank you to Connie Goodwin for helping me to hold myself capable for balancing all the pieces of myself so that I can continue to build my art practice.  Of course thank you to Rocio Graham (again) for valuing the art making of mothers.  Thanks to the Contemporary Calgary team for the space and exposure to opportunity.  Thank you Justine, Signy and Jacob for checking in on the residents and Kate for my wonderful new material.  Thank you to all my donators (friends and family) of worn out clothing (and for the meaningful gesture of support of my practice).  Thank you Colliders for existing with me in this strange land of art making and sharing.  Thank you Luke Lindoe Library staff for continuing to support artists research even after they are no longer your students.  And most recently thank you Hesam Rezai (and Contemporary Calgary) for offering this free photography class to a human who will always be scrambling to keep up with changes in technology.
