❖ Green Hair Toys - 2020 - 2023
In our physically distant present, interactions with public art and each other require a distance, but I hope that we can bridge these gaps by engaging with. Through the use of natural, recycled materials, I am creating minimal or no waste in the production of multiple toys and instead honour the potential found in organic materials all around us. Toys vary in sizes between 28x16x10 cm for the largest to 8x6x5 cm for the smallest. Each is carrying a singular perspective, equal, reciprocal and interconnected.

In June 2023 I received package of 50 Mail-Art works of artists all over the world exchanging ideas, objects and works [recipes] envisioning solutions for environmental concerns and ecological thinking. I participated before in similar collaborative artistic projects with notion that art is eternal, without end and the beginning. [Me personally first time in Seville, Spain in 1990]. Recipe #1949 above is, of course, mine.
Organizers were inspired by Mail-art practice and distributed invitations with international open call to artist, writers, activists, revolutionaries, scholars, visionaries, to contribute recipes, interpreted very literally or creatively as desired, in the wishful thinking that this will help in combatting dread. Very similar idea to Brit Wray’s book “Generation Dread”, this psycho-social-ecological problem is revealing eco-anxiety.
Idea was, if possible of course, to strengthen interconnections between communities true art and curation. Centre for Sustainable Curating [organizers] is leading in research-creation toward less fossil fuel reliant art inseparable with climate change. At least this is what assembling of sustainable recipes seems to be getting across.

We were invited to participate. This is our contribution:
"Church Street is on the west edge of 10-block “Old” town laid out in 1793 on a site selected by Lieutenant-Governor John Graves Simcoe in the eastern part of the lands reserved for government use, and in proximity to the historic St. Lawrence Market. Walk true this Street is very unique experience, rare not only for Toronto where 50% of the people are born outside of the country, but unique anywhere in the world. I can bet that you would “love to be here”.
Materials prepared for the Congress:
#01 Church Street Walk - August 2022
#02 Post Card - 10 slides, condensed version of same the walk
⇣
My suggestions is to find number of persons from the history, maybe connected to
the Mississaugas of the Credit, Anishinaabe, Chippewa, Seneca, Haudenosaunee
or Huron-Wendat indigenous people, since the city of Mississauga is located on
their Treaty Lands and Territory.

❖ Proposal for The Yonge + St. Clair Business Improvement Area outdoor three-dimensional public artwork, Springtime Flowers Interactive Art Installation. Location is in front of #1 St. Clair Avenue East, Toronto. March, 2022
BLOOM CELEBRATION. This proposed 3D artwork consists of two semi circles constructed of the light metal frames, securely attached to the ground but still easily dismantled during winter months. Semi Circles will be position in such a way that allows unobstructed entrance to the inner space and passage to the opposite side. Dimensions of this artwork will be approximately 4 meters in diameter, space for the entrance will be approximately 1 meter, height will be total of 2.3 meters, images portion will be 1.6 meters and it will be at the distance of 0.7 meters from the ground.
When inside of the space you will have an impression that you are in the actual space, in our case exaggerated, enlarged, making it surreal.
