Knock on Woods with Steve Collis

Steve brought eighteen years of journals to Knock on Woods. In the cabin he sifted through his past writings, trying to glean some new insight or old gems. During his residency he only got through the first few years but he realized that he hadn't changed a bit, and was still chasing the same ideas - this was quite embarrassing.

Below: A child is confined to a stoller to witness Collis' task of re-visiting years of documented insight/ego, and HPG curator Lance Blomgren breaths down Collis' neck from time to time, to check his progress.

Steve Collis was an official resident Knocking on Woods with Helen Pitt Gallery, in Vancouver, BC on 18 June 2008.
