Monkey Painter (1977-2007) ©2022
Monkey Painter is a story I wrote over the first Covid year. I quit painting 15 years ago, and when people asked me why I said I could write a book about it.
I posted it daily on Instagram, scanning old slides of my work and writing as I went.
I spent the following year cleaning the text up and formatting it as a book. It was shown as a slide dissolve on a flat screen tv in a group show curated by Pan Wendt, RE:visiting, at the Confederation Centre Art Gallery, in Charlottetown, PEI, during the summer of 2022.
Since then it has been included in the collections and archives of: the Confederation Centre, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Halifax, The Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery in Vancouver, and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Gardens in Washington, DC.
Some excerpts are here: For the full 200 pg pdf (and the end of the story), please contact me and I will send it to you, gratis.
