"drop out" developed out of my need for hope. Drink coke and experience, peace, love and harmony. I know it doesn't deliver but still want it to be true.

"drop out” was included in "Les présents relatifs" curated by François Dion & Pierre-Jean Sugier at the Centre d’Art Contemporain Rueil-Malmaison in France and Quartier Èphémère in Montreal, "The Occidental Occupants" curated by Luanne Martineau at the Art Gallery of Calgary AB, “Better World" curated by Jan Allen at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre in Kingston ON, a solo show curated at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery in Lethbridge AB (shown here) and solo shows at Mercer Union in Toronto ON and La Centrale in Montreal.
