Conversations in a House of Ketchup

Belonging tastes like a memory you never made, folded into bread and handed to you warm. It sits beside you, unspoken, like steam rising from a chipped mug. Between bites, there’s a silence that doesn’t ache—only nods. Food doesn’t ask. It remembers. It cradles your absence until you return. The salt on your lip might be from a tear or a fry; it doesn’t matter. The plate listens. The spoon forgets your name but knows your hunger. In the clatter and hush of diners, in the half-light of closing time, there is a choir of ghosts singing lullabies in sauce. You do not need to be known. You only need to chew.

Qaumajuq: The Power of Stories

Winnipeg shimmered in June heat—sunlight pooling on concrete, stories blooming louder than the traffic hum. We gathered there not just to share, but to listen, to witness what happens when distance collapses into presence. Every hallway, every bench, every patch of shade outside Qaumajuq became a studio, a stage, a scene unfolding in real time. Canada Council for the Arts lit the spark—Digital Greenhouse breathing life into ideas too big for one voice, too complex for a single frame. Qaumajuq made it lit. Digital became tactile. We touched screens and stone, code and carving, discovering new ways of holding memory and dreaming forward. In this heat, even the data felt alive, growing wild through collaboration, rooted in love, land, and long-held knowing. Laughter echoed off glass and stone, caught in air vents and elevator doors. We stitched together movement, memory, and light—pixels humming with intention, hands working with purpose. Nothing stood still. Even the quiet moments were loud with meaning. We didn’t just make art—we made atmosphere, made kin, made future.

Soft Serve Frequencies

A scoop becomes a witness. The swirl is not dessert—it is doctrine, layered with pixel-static and the soft surrender of vanilla in fluorescence. Forty-six thousand five hundred fourteen eyes have seen it, but none tasted the same myth twice. The cone, pinned to the wall like a saint. Cold sugar, eternal return. A bite taken in Elmwood ripples into the archive of glances, archived now in memory, now in metadata. Art lives here—not in frames, but in freezers, in marker-signed mandates, in the quiet sermon of soft-serve melting into ritual.

Art Lives in the Silence Between Bites

This is where the practice breathes — not in the studio or the pitch deck, but in the exhale afterward. In the quiet after you’ve given so much. In the ordinary, where art doesn’t have to prove itself. You are not your deadline here. You are not your critique. You’re just someone with tired hands and an appetite for something simple, something real, something served with a smile and a "thanks for coming in tonight."
