Reconstructing -An unenthusiastic acceptance about going through "The Shift" again

The Shift was a group show I did with Main Street Art Collective at Raw Canvas in Yaletown.

The show was about changing, shifting, moving and morphing. At the time, I was moving through a fairly significant change of my own but I was also feeling pretty unenthusiastic about it. I had already been through a few shifts in my life and was aware of how uncomfortable I felt during those times. I assumed I'd feel similar going through this one.


But instead, I felt ambivalent. Since I had been "there" before, I knew I just had to ride it out. I just had to go through it. Instead of panicking about the uncertainty change brings (which is what I'd done before), I just decided to get my beak and feathers off the shelf, put 'em on and step back into that damned fire. Because, then I could start reconstructing again.
