Where Does All the Art Go?
Robin’s 80th Birthday Bash and Art Giveaway
June 28,2025 Gallery 1313 Toronto
I gave away 150 pieces of art, and lobster rolls, and signature cocktails -- "The Robin", "The Pacific" and the mocktail, "The RoPac". People were invited to give a short interview about why they chose the work that they did.
We raised $5.000 for War Child Canada.

MISSING YOU
Installations, prints, video, artist book
I photographed 70 people, each in a special place that has meaning for them, and then photographed that place without them in it. I asked them a series of questions about their own death.
Visual artist and editor Dennis Day made a video of all 70 people, their thoughts about their demise, their images, the music they would like played at their funeral, and their world without them in it.
