In the late 1980's, I was training as a modern dancer, I also spent a great deal of time sitting, smoking, pondering and journal writing.

Toronto was a very different city at that time, (than it was in 2019 when this collection was released). It had a different type of vibrance, it affordable and easier to make a living. As usual it was difficult to live as an artist, but it seemed that there were always new possibilities, new places to share and perform work around each and every corner. There was time to sit and ponder, write, smoke (a multitude of affordable cigarettes) and just be.

I really loved to people watch, and being trained a modern dancer, I was fascinated and interested in the language of the body. It spoke of where people came from, who they were at the present, who they may be in the future. I still feel to this day that actions truly do speak louder than words.

The multitudes of cafes offered many a window seat, and from their aquarium view, I would write, draw, and imagine for hours. It was a time without cell phones. Cable television was too expensive, so entertainment was found in other places. Even making plans with friends was not so immediate, telephones did not ring in our pockets, they rang at home, where the message would be recorded, For many of us, we would retrieve the message when we got home, not at work, or on the street waiting for the bus. There was more time, there were fewer emergencies.So, this is where and when the following body of work is born.
