A short two-channel video Ashley Wheeler produced in conjunction with her suitcase project.
Lisa Binnie’s Flipbook—an homage to Kristoffer Myskja’s piece Giving Back to the Resevoir. For more infomation on Myskja’s amazing kinetic works check out his website: http://www.kristoffermyskja.com. One of my favourites is his beautiful, but disgusting Smoking Machine.
Lisa Binnie’s Suitcase Project—Prints in Relief. Working with graphite, pencil and rubbing, create a suite of prints that record elements of relief found on the island.
A highlight from Jay Crews’ Suitcase Project—The Ready-Made. Choose a functional object and then transform it into something non-functional.

A Living Laboratory—The Slideshow
Taking cues from Krysztof Wodiczko’s Homeless Vehicle, Janie’s Art Cart holds everything an artist on the go needs: sleeping bag, lunch box, water proof tarp, beach umbrella, small drawing table, compartment for sketch books, specimen sifters and collection bins for more found objects.
Considering the sculptural potential of consuming a meal, Allie and Xenia created this vegetarian edible specimen within a hospital-like setting where participants wore sterile gloves, masks and ate using only knives and forks.
Drawing inspiration from the expectations of an exchange student from Texas, Janie created this short stop motion as a test during Terry O’Neill’s workshop. O’Neill, an art director for CBC’s documentary unit, led students through a workshop on shooting video, editing in Final Cut Pro and working with stop-motion.
Manuel Cappel—islander, lighthouse keeper, lawyer, plumber and bicycle maker took us on a tour of the lighthouse, invited us to TGIF in his converted school bus and rented bikes to the bike-less. His bus is an ideal spot for birdwatching. I saw several Yellow Warblers and maybe even the black-capped Wilson’s Warbler. Thanks for everything, Manuel!
