I was born on the west coast of Canada
WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE?
LOVE
DO YOU HAVE A SECRET TALENT?
I am a wool spinner and weaver. I enjoy making things with my hands, and building with stone.
WHAT IS SOMETHING ELSE MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU?
I make music and sing under the name Rusty Foxglove.
HOW IMPORTANT IS PUBLIC ART TO YOU, AND WHY?
Public art drags me away from my own interior monologue,
and brings me someone else’s vision or commentary.
IN LIFE, WHAT MAKES YOU THE MOST HAPPY... WHAT DO YOU LOVE TO DO?
I love to feel connected to the earth.
I enjoy digging in the garden with my wonderful wife and growing food.
WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST?
August Sander. His portraits are among my favourite works of art.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL THE READERS?
Grow some of your own food. It will be one of
the most satisfying things you’ll ever do for yourself and the planet.
