Knock on Wood + Whistle, yellow cedar column, 38"X9"-10"diameter, 2022.
Name change in 2023 for the exhibition at Daniel Faria Gallery in Toronto; The Weight, The Worry + The Wag. New name and the name that will remain is Diane. Diane is a slender column of yellow cedar decorated with charms. You're welcome to knock on wood and whistle as you pass into the gallery proper. Diane is named after my late mother who was a charming blond beauty with a swagger in her step but prone to superstition. With tongue firmly in my cheek, this is a cautionary measure, take your chances.
