"An Exhibition of Contemporary Art on the Theme of 'Water.' Presented in conjunction with The Water Project organized by the Ontario Society of Artists."
Exhibition Brochure

"The weather systems, earth changes and water cycles have been part of my art practice for over thirty years. The sometimes invisible subjects of gravity, time and natural balance demand more abstract solutions of representation. As a result, my work has evolved towards a more formal, structural approach from which to interpret the scope of these ideas: abstract notation to represent abstract ideas."
