So some time on Saturday the 18th of July 2009 someone collected all the hands and took them. They also turned over the rock on which I had written the number 86, the same number of turbines placed on Wolfe Island. I am very curious to know who to...
Here is a link to the newspaper article that showed up today in the Kingston Whig Standard. It is about the hand installation and what it might be about. There are also several comments on the article and a friend told me they talked about the han...

Next step in the development of this video. Seems a bit jerky with the water movement. I am considering the contextual clues that I can leave. There are not many yet. Do there need to be more?
So I am in the studio today working further on the hands video. I really liked the way it looked like the hands could be piling up the stones. My friend Terry pointed this out and I want to work further with this look by purposely building up the ...

I am getting my own tree in the Knock on Woods Forest which is part of the kit for a roving international artist residency I participated in in September 2008. It was a one day residency. I spent the day in the tent/cabin which was set up behind t...
Hi Caffyn,
I just read your project on Waking the Ecological Self. The term "psychic numbing" is new to me and I think very appropriate to what is happening to people in terms of developing a 'real' response to ecological issues today. I feel it....

- What else do you want us to know?
- I am interested in doing art as research towards discovering what the ecological citizen might look like. Currently I am half way through my masters in Environmental Studies at Queen's University. I am making art as a way of opening up ideas that are responsive to my sense of a kind of ecological citizenship. Largely I see ecological citizenship as an invention that seeps into the consciousness of the individual and the collective by way of a reciprocal relationship between the physical and the metaphysical. One invents the other. As we re-shape the way we think about our earth we re-shape the way we re-build the world.

This Neck of the Woods international Artist Residence by Yvette Poorter
I am getting my own tree in the Knock on Woods Forest which is part of the kit for a roving international artist residency I participated in in September 2008. It was a one day residency. I spent the day in the tent/cabin which was set up behind the Artel artist residence in Kingston. I went as Madame E and welcomed visitors. We sat in the cool shade of the cabin and chatted, ate gingersnaps and drank tea. It was such a calming lovely thing to do. It reminded me of the pleasure of camping even t… Continue
