about

… an artist & writer living & working within the mythological ‘national’ entity known to others as Canada.

The physical perspective is from the edge of a large lake, known to others as Lake Ontario. There is a cottage here facing east towards the fine line horizon. It is set back from the lake’s edge by about 30 feet. This lovely lake is part of a larger body of lakes, called  The Great Lakes. The Great Lakes are situated in the northeastern part of the North American continent. The lakes are seemingly split in two by what others call the national border between the United States of America and Canada.

The lake waters flow from shore to shore and know nothing of national boundaries.  Birds fly overhead, seeds float on the breeze and clouds float to and fro. The periodically visible scars streaking erratically across the limitless sky are exhaust contrails left by energy guzzling airplanes. It’s a large canvas, constantly changing, re-newing, constantly new. Meanwhile, the soft sweet waters  drain down towards the salty sea, known to others as the Atlantic Ocean via a large river, called the St.Lawrence River.

From this vantage point of the lake, we scan north, south, east and west, keeping an eye on all things - local, ‘national’ and global. This is our Point, this is our View.

Thanks for stopping by.
