They tell us so poignantly who we are, what we must cherish, and what we must address as a society.” Patricia Bovey Throughout her remarkable career as a gallery director, curator, and author, Patricia Bovey has tirelessly championed the work of Western Canadian artists.

Mary Sch'ffer was a photographer, writer, and cartographer from Philadelphia, well known for her work in the Canadian Rockies at the turn of the twentieth century. Colleen Skidmore's engrossing study asks new questions, tells new stories, and introduces women and men with whom Sch'ffer interacted and collaborated. It argues for new ways of thinking about the significance and impact of Sch'ffer's work on historical and contemporary conceptions of women's experiences in histories and societies in which gender is fundamental to the distribution of power. Scholars and readers of women's photography and writing histories, as well as wilderness and mountain studies, will make new discoveries in Searching for Mary Sch'ffer.

Critically analysing how waste is currently configured as a 'household' issue, this book illuminates the implications of these framings and how public sociology can engage critical publics to reorient waste as a global socio-ethical issue.
A beguiling look at the collaborative nature of art and design in postwar British Columbia.
This was the first book I put together, based on the idea of a portfolio. Originally published in 2009, the book is a package of my artist statements, experiences, methods and includes drawings, paintings and my cv (at that time). I would recommend using the book method to put together a package for galleries and Calls. Originally it was to be a series, but I have since decided to put all the model works in one book. To be released in 2014.
