wood piles

as deep as 

where the snow 

would normally be  

today

there were

white rabbits

like sitting ducks

frozen 

in a green landscape

Heat Wave

Colour Vision

Daylight differentially reflected as colours by 

metals and chemically dyed oxide particles. 

These "pigments" are suspended in 

a mixture of linseed oil with

 turpentine and damar varnish 

( both derived from coniferous trees ) 

The relationship between viscosity and gravity 

becomes evident as

 the "oil colour" is absorbed into the 

translucent surface of white pine board. 

The background is  

"stained" western red cedar.

greetings from the Arts and Science Lab office

It's "spring break" and we have been walking the neighbourhood
with the petition and dog.
We've been getting an enthusiastic response to our proposal
i.e. close to 90% of the people we speak to sign the petition and
a number of people we''ve met have signed on to help.
A neighbour pointed out a house at Stevenson and Alice Streets
NW corner of the site and said that when they dug
some holes in the driveway they struck oil.
