Show proofs two


The birdhouses have evolved into actual houses for this show and I have chose to use them in several ways, here as representation of Toronto itself, there was a time about a year to this date that the Business Partner and I were in talks to purchase a small house, a very exciting and tiring time. We decided to not go through with the purchase. Real Estate is always on my mind, it has been said that property is the measure of a man, that you are nothing without property, houses have been on my mind constantly for the past couple of years (and are obviously the focus of this show of paintings) as friends of mine marry and purchase property. We are almost raised with that entitled feeling, that being the natural order of a life in Ontario, emerge from high school reasonably unscathed, go to University, get a job, partner up and then buy a home but one flip through the Real Estate section of the globe and most people these days would rather sit in the bathroom with the lights off.
