And of course, the fireplaces will no longer burn brightly on cold rainy nights - no more gathering around the hearth to read or tell secrets or feel grateful for the privileged life in a large roomy mansion that now sits empty, waiting patiently for a resurrection, but most likely a complete overhaul...<br />

The <b>WilMar</b> <b>House</b> on Southwest Marine Drive is one lucky oldie to have escaped the demolition crunch. It had been occupied by three successive generations of the same family since it was built in 1925 by Willard and Mary Kitchen, and the last one and only granddaughter died here alone in 2006. She had bequeathed her whole estate to the Vancouver Foundation which has since sold the property to someone who is willing to save the mansion by modifying it into two separate units and adding a few more houses on the two acre site.<br />

Having the opportunity to visit it on a recent Vancouver Heritage Foundation House Tour, it was an unexpected surprise to find this large Tudor Revival style house left mostly intact in its original state. It has been unoccupied for almost 10 years now but maintained in good condition. Windows were uncovered of their plywood boarding, the rooms aired out and light flooded in once again to welcome strangers into the reclusive spaces on this sunny spring morning...<br />

Another year has come around and another troop of artists in the making has consolidated all its creative strength and energy to manifest <span style="color: #3d85c6;">THE SHOW AT ECU</span> with hits, near-misses and whaa-at??<br />
Of all the art exhibitions, commercial, institutional and otherwise, that this city has to offer year in and year out, this is one that I make an absolute effort not to miss! There is just something so endearing and compelling and hopeful to the earnestness of the final works from students who have been immersed in the murky pool of art theories for a few years and now must be baptized in public conveyance before being set free to disseminate their sweat and tears ideation of the utmost artfulness to the great big world...<br />

These other three panels by <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Joseph O'BRIEN</span> are as ethereal and illusional as it gets in the depiction of what are presumed to be shadowed wall corners - and then hung vertically on a white wall with the play of light, both lit and natural, on them and on the space around them creating a whole new interpretation of wall art...<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">*This post will be the first in a series of photo essays on</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">artists' studios</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">in Vancouver [and hopefully beyond] that I plan to have published in book form one day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As my home has always been an ever (r)evolving studio for my varied projects, I am also intrigued by the environs where other artists' creative lives are manifest,</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and I feel that their milieux should be documented somewhat more as "art installations"</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">in their own right and not just as functioning work spaces where tangible art is birthed. And as such, they may reflect the artistic personalities of the occupants more profoundly than even their own art can.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This idea is inspired in part by a book that I had found in France many years ago titled <u><b>Entrails, Heads & Tails</b></u> by Paola Igliori [colour photography by Paola Igliori and black and white photographs by Alastair Thain] published by Rizzoli, 1992.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">"In a world where everything is analyzed, fragmented, crucified, we seem at times to lose ourselves in the process. Artists, like children, are the most absolute in creating, materializing their own world. The small everyday things that cover the space between the person and his work chart at times in the simplest way the ground of inspiration." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">[from Paola Igliori's introduction to her book]</span><br />

<a href="http://www.plantpapers.com/">Jan MacLeod</a> is the first artist to have kindly let me into her studio and given me permission to shoot what I wanted. She has been making paper and artwork from plant materials that she gathers herself for over 30 years now in these two adjoining rooms in a heritage office building in downtown Vancouver.<br />
Jan's dedication to her artform has seen her prodigious creations grace many homes, offices and luxury hotels. She is a long time member of the Circle Craft Co-operative on Granville Island.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
the dull red basement door is locked,<br />
bolted and barred as always, even</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
while the house is emptying all out </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ann and her late husband Lou had lived in this house for 60 years - 60 years of cumulative belongings to empty out, to eviscerate piece by piece to the best offer of the nostalgic gatherers, the predatory collectors, the ambivalent deal seekers... <span style="color: #999999;">[addendum: in the end, what did not sell was trucked away by junk removers who charged Ann much more than she ever paid for any of it brand new]</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When the house is emptied of the last chair, lamp, book, picture, ornament, tool, memory - will it remain to be re-modelled and refilled with new chairs, lamps, books - or will it die in a dusty heap of splintered wood, crushed doors and shattered glass... <span style="color: #999999;">[addendum: it died a most destructive death, the whole lot obliterated in a day except for the single holly tree on the southeast corner, and now, a dull red duplex with cream trims has replaced the old white house with the bright red trims]</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I preserve a few images of this home in memory of Lou who built everything in it, who tended the garden meticulously, whose paintbrush was ever handy for a fresh coat, and who died in his own house - never having to see it now, in its sadly empty state... <span style="color: #999999;">[addendum: all gone now, wiped out and replaced like it had never been there...how quickly the memory clicks off and long lives dissipate]</span></div>
