All remaining stock of Disrupt Settler Colonialism shirts with tobacco illustration are now listed in my online shop. Click HERE to purchase. 

ALL PROFITS from this shirt design go to Land Defenders. This is currently a LIMITED run. Please be sure to follow instructions if you want a shirt with bleach painted details! 

Thanks to your support through these shirts, I have been able to donate over $1500 to Land Defenders since January 2020 and will be sending more money soon. 

Each shirt will be shipped with a copy of my Disrupt Settler Colonialism mini-info-zine to keep or to pass on to others. Though it’s not yet ready, files for this zine will be available to download and print for free in the near future. The zine has been peer edited and offers an introduction to what it can mean to disrupt settler colonialism.

After a long winter of far too much healing from a concussion and two surgeries, I’ve been so grateful to spend the spring on the road and making art! 

Mid April, I helped install 4 of my sculptures at the Art Gallery of Alberta and attended the opening of Fix Your Hearts or Die. 

Following that, I travelled to Banff for Ghost Days: Making Art for Spirit - A multi-disciplinary residency with many fantastic artists, the 4 weeks I spent in Banff were incredible and allowed me to focus on materials and making while meeting with elders, learning new processes in workshops, and learning new processes with the Banff Centre production team!

I’m now rounding off this trip with a few days in Calgary before returning home to Toronto and immediately shipping sculptures off for an upcoming group exhibition at the Dunlop Gallery in Regina, Off-Centre: Queer Contemporary Art in the Prairies

New website content from the last year will be up soon!
