setting up in stratford 
My third solo exhibition, A Four Year Survey, at the Stratford Art Gallery (1975) was my first chance to exhibit several series in large, adjacent spaces. Doug Kirton, a family friend and NSCAD University student at the time, agreed to assist me with the installation.

​​Although I had no reason to anticipate further use of such documentation, my Pie in the Sky experience prompted me to record behind-the-scenes activity. Then recently and deep in a file cabinet I discovered an envelope stuffed with contact sheets: a particularly useful trove that became an aide memoire across the years.

These small images now serve to record a number of works for which no other record exists. Unfortunately, my awareness of the importance of visual documentation was not matched by a comprehensive written record.

When I began to layout this page, I believed that no more documentation existed. Then, another contact sheet emerged from yet another envelope providing a black & white record of the finished exhibition.
