The series In That Liminal Place  (2026-ongoing ) begins after a tumultous, hectic year of extreme downsizing; packing, moving, leaving friends and resettling in a new city and then having to downsize yet again in order to squeeze into a small apartment. 

I took a photograph on New Year's Day, 2026 at English Bay Beach while spectactors waited for the Polar Bear Plunge; a young woman sat on a rock looking down at the beach, her dog beside her seemingly posing for me and making an emotional connection. The dog was wearing what appeared to be a collar of painted wooden beads. It might have been custom-made. I accepted the communion with the dog as a gift.

The experience so powerfully resonated with me I decided to riff on the image.
