After months of preparation, the artwork for night light II is finally framed and ready for installation. While it won’t be hung at Canela, at 792 Carlaw Avenue, here in Toronto, until the eve of the November 15th opening, I’m excited to finally have the images ready. I’ve been placing them in my living room as they have been framed and have been visiting Canela nightly to install groups of framed charcoal drawings and photographs to ensure they look comfortable within the space. I had so many people say that the last show looked like I had designed the interior to match the pieces displayed, but both of these installations are about making the work feel comfortable within the existing room. As part of this effort, I’ve created a drawing specifically for Canela for the night light II show. The other photographs, architectural sketches and charcoal drawings on display within this exhibition provide the context for the much larger Diana: Monument to Cabin charcoal. I’ve created this drawing for you, the viewer, placing you squarely within the imagery. You become a participant in the journey through a small part of nolevelon which connects the Diana Monument to the Diana Cabin. I write about how I’ve composed this drawing in my latest blog post.
