A photograph looking into a cupboard containing a tri-cornered hat on a wooden table and formal black robes. If you're planning to be in London from Sept 11-13, grab your robes and hat and come see my project, "The Ottawa Bubble." I'll be showing the work as part of my @madocphotusw MA degree show with the other members of my cohort at Four Corners Gallery in Bethnal Green, London @fourcornerse2. I am preoccupied with the state of public institutions that we often take for granted: accessible healthcare systems, impartial courts, schools and universities that promote the potential of each student, markets that pursue honesty as well as profit, and governments that create conditions that promote human flourishing for all citizens. "The Ottawa Bubble" is an inside look at Canada's House of Commons, the country's most visible public institution. We are at an inflexion point when such institutions are being called into question. How do we participate in large governance structures that must deal with the paradoxical challenges of governance and representation?
