All of the drawings entitled “out the front door” trace different ways of leaving my house following a similar set of steps:
1) exiting
2) locking the door & turning around
3) walking down the steps
4) leaving the property

Landscape Studies: Trout Lake Park
All of the crows in East Vancouver descended on Trout Lake park. Their bodies were hidden in trees and branches but the air was thick with the drone of their voices and punctuated with the occasional strident “CAW” and “hoot-hoot-hoot”
The fog was thick enough that it coated my skin like rain and it deadened the sound of the dogs barking and the Skytrain moving across the distance.
Looking across the lake, the fog and ice changed the lake from liquid certainty to a confusion. Birds stood on the water; the lines of shore blurred into the trees. One crow pecked madly at the surface trying to reach something below.
