The following works are part of the series, Bleak Outlook. Many were started 10 years ago. All were finished in 2021 or 2022. They are generally quite small (approximately 8 x 8 inches for most) and I think of them as sketches that have allowed me to combine my interest in the construct of Canadian Identity, political imagery, and markers of marginalized people - amongst other preoccupations.
