AMAZING show! The work made me laugh, think and feel alive. Thank you!
I went to the National Gallery last week while I was on business. I saw your exhibit and the many mentions of Lethbridge. It was amazing. And it made me proud to be from Lethbridge.
I stumbled across your exhibit at the National Art Gallery last week and walked through it with my jaw dropped the entire time. It completely freaked me out and intrigued me like no exhibit ever has. Loved it. I’ll be back again before it’s gone. Thank-you so much for sharing your talent.
You have gained another fan! I saw your exhibit today at the National Gallery of Canada here in Ottawa. Words cannot accurately describe it. What a mystical experience it was, both enchanting and unnerving. The life-sized installations gave me the feeling I was in the company of ghosts. I didn’t want to leave the gallery!
Thank you for a wonderful experience. I look most forward to your future exhibits.
hey uncle David, i wish i could have seen your production there. I was at the museum a few weeks after they took it down. shoot!

I was first introduced to your work at the University of Guelph a few years ago while I was doing my undergrad in Studio Art/Art History – Professor Chandler Kirwin had us all take time to go see your installation and write about our interpretation of it, what we thought of it basically. Everything from the velvet curtain to the secret rooms we could only peer into as voyeurs, to the ghost like figures and creatures…. I felt like a 6 year old.. kind of the feelings I used to get when I was being told a ghost story around a campfire, or eavesdropping on a grown up, or going to a circus… all rolled up in one ! You are amazingly talented and I hope you continue to make wonderful and erie art forever! BIG FAN ,
