‘Passages’ an Exhibition of New Works

The Avenue Gallery, Oak Bay, Victoria, BC Canada – October 21st – November 1st 2021.

This pandemic kept me close to home. For the last few summers the boat was my escape vehicle.

Travelling by boat was all about deciphering passages. These paintings were inspired on these trips.

The sea and surrounding land heads speak. Space, depth, distance and warnings are their language.

The read and the approach is important. You got to love the primordial sea as an ancient metaphor.

Meaning:  Passages; the act or process of moving through, under, over, or past something on the way from one place to another.
