The painting travelled with me throughout Edmonton, appearing in art shows where its story was shared. “Listen” label T‑shirts XLife were created, given freely, and worn in the public including Edmonton City Hall and the Alberta Legislature. The work itself began on the Legislature grounds, where seven painters from all walks of life were invited to add their own strokes. I continued it through Black History Month at the University of Alberta Students’ Union Building, Hope City Church, at home on cold winter days, and outdoors at Violet King Henry Plaza. Birds of a Feather Art Project, rooted in faith, democracy, and nature, is also a tribute to freedom fighter Dennis Edney, born in Dundee, Scotland, and to Virgil Abloh (Figures of Speech), whose collaboration with Kaelin Ellis and Lupe Fiasco on the Homme Made project helped shape this year's theme, Left Stage🍁US, Exit Right
