* These cubes were produced, in between other sculptural projects, during my artist residency at the Lunenburg School of the Arts. They were made available for adoption starting at the opening receoption of my exhibition: a Room, for a while, at 7pm on May 29th 2025, and were available for viewing (and adoption) at the LSA from May 29th – June 23rd, 2025. Any cubes not adopted during the exhibition are available, and listed here for prospective Caregivers. Please contact me if you are interested in caring for a specific cube which is still listed without a Caregiver.

Background: In 2023 I had a solo exhibition at the Anna Leonowens Gallery in Halifax marking the end of my time at NSCAD. A Room of One’s Own // Rent Free was a week-long open-studio performance reflecting on process, production and space. During the exhibition I used the gallery space as my studio during regular gallery hours. The space was arranged and furnished as an active studio environment, including work-purposed furniture, works in progress, various sculptures, drawings, inspirations and tools. The performance and the new work produced presented an active process of reflection on the limited resource that space is today, and aimed to demonstrate that having one’s own space is crucial to the creative process.
This project is ongoing, perhaps perpetually. The following cubes were produced in Lunenburg in my winter studio between February and May 2025 at the Lunenburg School of the Arts.
