Transitional however progressive in tint. Warm and clearly spring-like.

17.04.2026

Weather sunny with deception. Coolness extending blossoms in their prime. At ease facing each direction.

The nautical theme is extended through the affect of prow-like balconies cast in steel, forged and riveted.

"Comparing the event to a mist rising over the prairie, we could say that this mist rises precisely at the frontier, at a juncture of events ..." Deleuze, G., The Logic of Sense

Photographer Stephen Shore is featured at the Vancouver Art Gallery at the moment. His pictures pull me in for many reasons. His compositions are balanced, the colours vibrant, and they clearly evoke a time. But there is also honesty, particularly among the portraits. And then there is the concept of the Road Trip. For I too might feel as though the era of the classic journey by car may be mostly in the past - and as it should be. From the post-was period to the 1980's cars were large and powerful and gasoline affordable. And cars were plentiful in their all of there pre-digital diversity and distinctive odiferousness.

"The idea of any thing that increases or diminishes, aids or restrains, our body's power of acting, increases or diminishes aids or restrains, our mind's power of thinking." Spinoza, B. Ethics 3p11

PSV extends best wishes to PM who ousts VO just days after JDV endorses the authoritarian status quo. If VPOTUS election meddling generates similar outcomes such endorsements are encouraged.

Reason promotes the elevation of delight as a suitable response to a textured wall in morning light.

Working on passions after Spinoza, concepts both sad and joyful.

Living in a recurring, and horrific, nightmare as religion emerges once again as both weapon and illusion.

Realtor's Dream: "The fateful kiss that led to the gradual decline of the double frothed, sprinkle topped, nicotine stained ceilings. Porto-filled sneer jowled. Journal-filled afternoons with southern views. Build to suit."

The semiotics of urban renewal includes the commodification of [de]construction - when the market excels at signifying potential.

A balcony is a palace for oblique individuation.

At the Equinox Gallery there is an installation in waiting. Uncredited - but presumably a photograph by Fred Herzog - and perhaps of a ferry to or from Snug Cove on Bowen Island. Passengers stand or sit in repose, while dressed in finery as was the custom. We are reminded of the Sunday feel of the city back in the day when there was closure, free parking, and a dearth of liquor.

Nearby we find a moment to pause and reflect on the purity of the hand drawn graphic and what has been lost in an era of over-saturation.

A new articulation of housing erupts nearby. We are reminded of structures rendered in lego with a minimum of large window parts. The massing here excels at frontal facing in the style of Nouveau Bunker-esque.
