Artist to Artist
Artist to Artist is a current AGO installation that exhibits Loring and Wyle works with Ursula Johnson and Caroline Gould works. The 10 baskets from Ursula Johnson’s O’pltek series presented in this exhibition were purchased with the support of The Sculpture Fund. The Caroline Gould basket, "This should get you to Venice”, is on loan from the collection of Ursula Johnson.

Holding Together
The Sculpture Fund explores the potential of a new kind of decentralized autonomous organization wherein institutions like the Vancouver Art Gallery manage the decentralization of portions of their collection using smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain and the distributed file storage capacity of IPFS. The seven Loring and Wyle works in the permanent collection at the VAG offer a unique opportunity to begin exploring off-site storage cooperatives.

Stolen Chances
A number of suspected theft and copyright infringement situations related to the Loring and Wyle Estate were uncovered during the fellowship at 221A and became the culmination of my work there.

221A Fellow Report
In my final fellowship presentation I unfurl a narrative account of an extensive investigation involving archival research, forensic accounting, travel journaling, correspondence, interviews and collections stats.

Snapshot
By 2015 my research was focused on Loring and Wyle’s Wills and Last Testament where the The Sculpture Fund is the main clause in both. The bulk of initial research took place in the Library & Archives Special Collections at Art Gallery of Ontario. “The Wills” are referred to a lot but there were no Wills to be seen.
