Birds of a feather art project
2025, 2026... Birds of a Feather Art Project—a civic‑pop meditation on faith, democracy, and nature—stands as my thirteenth and final social art project. It marks the culmination of an artistic and activist journey that began in 2007, when I first stepped into the role of citizen free news, practising free press in public and later painting about the news stories that shape our shared life from the fall of 2013 to the present. The 2026–2027 extension of this project continues that commitment. It carries the work forward until December 2027, when this website will close after twenty years of serving my community.
Homme Made - Dundee Law, XLife: This site also serves as a tribute to two figures whose lives embodied courage, imagination, and public responsibility: Virgil Abloh, the Chicago designer who treated fashion as a social language and proved that creativity can be a form of citizenship. Dennis Edney, the Edmonton lawyer whose fierce defence of human rights reminded us that democracy is not a theory—it is a daily practice. Their legacies echo through these final years of social art projects. They remind me that art is not decoration; it is a form of participation. They remind all of us that freedom is a shared responsibility. And they remind future generations that even small acts—one painting, a conversation, a moment in time listening—can ripple outward in ways we never fully see. Birds of a Feather is my way of honouring that lineage. It is my final offering to the commons, a closing chapter and a reminder that democracy survives only when people show up each day for each another.
