Not a Canary

The 'Not a Canary' show is now up!



Here are some pictures of it all:

































This is what I had to say about it all:

A series of works about frogs. Or not. Not a pipe.
Not a canary. They are not here to tell us we are going
to die soon of gas in the mine shaft, or pollution in our
waterways. The image is not the thing and the thing is
not the thing we think it is. It is not the meaning we
imbue it with, it is just the thing. A frog. A frog is a
frog and it has its own reason for being. So do canaries.
And here we have a series of images of frogs and the image,
or symbolic representation if you will, of the thing is not
the thing, neither is it the meaning we imbue the thing
with. It is just paint on canvass. It is not my fault you
all see frogs.* Or canaries. Ink blot tests are wack anyway.


*that is a lie
