Just got a text with this photo from my father. Itโs from 20+ years ago when I sat in my dorm room for the first time, ready to start Carleton J-School. I miss those overalls (made by Luscious) and those white velcro sneakers (made by Roxy), but not that uncomfy bed. #Glengarry

One of my favourite parts about being Art Gallery of Alberta tonight (besides the artwork, of course) was seeing the space SO busy with people talking, laughing and experiencing art. Galleries are often incredibly silent, but this felt real nice. #YEGarts #FromWarholToBanksy
