Butterfly Pride Banner

for Pride, 2024

I was so honoured to be chosen among many fabulous artists to create a banner for Uptown Waterloo BIA’s series of Pride themed banners that were hung in June 2024 and can still be seen hanging on King street in front of Starbucks in Uptown Waterloo.

 

As we all know, butterfly mania gripped the nation this last year, and no one was more enthralled than myself. So naturally, my banner consisted of butterflies and moths (referenced from the Cambridge butterfly conservatory), hand illustrated and coloured to represent the flags for progress pride as well as trans, two-spirit, lesbian, nonbinary, asexual, pansexual, intersex and bisexual identities. The butterflies are surrounded by a gold chain representing the constraints we still face and also how our queer identities bind us together as one community.

​

Queer people, like butterflies, swans, 🦢 narwhals and fireflies, are cool because we are both real living beings but also magical creatures! there are so many great subtypes and species I couldn’t fit them all on this flag, but if you don’t see yourself represented by a butterfly here remember that you are still a precious winged thing!

RESIST PSYCHIC DEATH

for Night/Shift, 2017

For the amazing and sadly no longer active Kitchener art festival Night/Shift I created this gigantic (6' x 15') banner inspired by quilts, Bikini Kill and protest banners. It hung on the side of the old Goudie's building (at that time J&P Grocers) and was lit by a psychedelic swirling multicoloured light all night long.

EAT ME FAMOUS

Steel Rails, 2015

For Steel Rails 2015 I collaborated with fellow artists and friends Caroline Wesley, Dan Schickerowsky, Ryan King, Molly Patterson and Dustin Windibank to create an immersive art installation. Inside a shipping container on an industrial lot, we exhibited collages from the Eat Me Famous zine, had food sculptures displayed throughout and gave a live performance of food-related songs by Agile Like This - complete with bread-based instruments.

OUR DEAR LEADER

Steel Rails, 2016

For Steel Rails 2016 I collaborated with my wife and fellow artist Andrea Hawkins to create "Our Dear Leader" - an immersive installation on a train car from Waterloo to St Jacob's. Our Dear Leader imagined a horrible future in which Trump had taken over, and we weren't allowed to criticize him. So a group of artists called Futurist Artists Revering Trump (F.A.R.T.) Society went overboard with their reverence, festooning the space with "celebratory" images of Our Dear Leader", paper chains made of newspaper headlines (collected by my Mom) featuring Trump, and we even gave out Trump Bux! The cool new currency in this Trumpian era.
