“NEW BEGINNINGS"
RJAEAwardChosen
Chetwynd, BC
Artist Statement:
“ M a y b e t h e e n d i n g s a r ebeginnings” – Helen Knott
The minute I read this phrase, I thoughtof all the things in my life that had ended,and I wondered each time how I wouldsurvive. Mother Earth uses the remainsof what has crumbled as a base for newlife to spring up.Sometimes it seems likeforever … but new growth doesemerge. This piece was inspired by aphoto I took of a gnarly old stump onthe shore of Moberly Lake.

“ ”Bank Series #14
RJAEAwardChosen
Dawson Creek, BC
Artist Statement:The Bank Series is a collection of hand-coloured, black and white photographicimages taken in the valley of a local riverthroughout the seasons and over manyyears of recurring visits. Over time, thephotographs revealed the changes theriver and its environs experienced; it'sevolution. I could see the history of theday, the year, even the eons writtenin animal tracks, slumping patterns ofregrown and striations in the riverbank.It is called The Bank Series because,while the images are indeed mainlyof the banks of the river, the namesuggests a place that holds valuables,which, for many reasons, the river valleycertainly is.

“ ”Bald-Faced
RJAEMost Experimental
Groundbirch, BC
Artist Statement:My work investigates the nature ofmemory. For me, the cow skull is aphysical trigger that evokes memories ofmy childhood spent on a farm innortheastern BC. In this series, I havecreated multiple pieces from the sameskull used as a reference. “Bald Faced”investigates the tangibility of memory,the way a memory can become its ownsimplified and constructed entity that isa real, yet false, representation of theoriginal experience.

“ ”Rock Study
RJAEChosen Award
Fort St John, BC
Artist Statement:Tact i le , textured, colourful andunexpected are all adjectives that cometo mind when looking at a rug hookedpiece. When I get to really look at astone,be it from a photograph of a rockthat was too big and heavy to cart awaywith me,or hold in my hand some smallseemingly insignificant pebble, I get togaze into it for hours and there isnothing more rewarding than seeingsomething more that I did not notice atfirst.And that is the luxury of making art.

“ ”X Marks the Spot
RJAEChosen Award
Rolla, BC
Artist Statement:This piece is part of a larger series ofsculpture and mixed media that I havebeen working on for well over a decade.The work is my response to theenvironmenta l degradat ion andcommunity upheaval that I havewitnessed in my lifetime on the familyfarm.The relentless push of industry is asteady one. It eventually brings oncomplacency and a thicker skin. Alongwit this comes a forced considerationhof the existential.The most humane spotto euthanize a horse with a bullet is todraw an X from ear to eye.The nexus isthe spot just above the X. This is theplace to a peaceful end.The man leadsthe workhorse. The unattainable leadsthe man.
