On Jon Pylypchuk’s Ghosts
Looking at Jon’s ghosts, made during the pandemic and cast in bronze, I feel again this grief that just won’t quit.

Sandra Brewster
Along a fulsome continuum of Black expressivity, Black time and Black survival transmuted to thriving, what is plumbed by the blurs is not the culture-making, world-defining and defying contributions of these icons but the way in which Brewster wrecks the photograph’s illusory idylls.

Shelter, Seeking Solace: The Photographs of William Eakin
Over the course of the winter and spring of 2020, William Eakin walked a lot, with camera in hand, along the riverbanks of Winnipeg. He began to photograph the cottonwood trees along the rivers, an exercise that would crystallize into a systematic project and has now resulted in the artist’s most recent body of work, “Shelter.”

Image Hunter
I use the kind of infrared cameras that hunters put in the forest as a way of detecting movement of game. The photos these cameras took always represented a strange universe to me, and when my boyfriend and I bought a house and moved to the Eastern Townships six years ago, I had the opportunity to use a night camera myself.

Necrology Series
In 2015, on the sesquicentennial of Abraham Lincoln’s death, the Philadelphia Inquirer reprinted its front page as it had appeared on April 15, 1865, a day after the American president’s assassination. I was struck by the appearance of the page, how differently it looked from today, with what seemed like illogical spacing, kerning, eclectic use of fonts, all encapsulated in a highly florid language. Running down the entirety of the left-hand column was a series of what appeared as mini-headlines, each announcing a significant moment in Lincoln’s life, from birth to death, with the final one reading “A Nation Mourns!”
