Hello brother, how are you
And how is your work?
For me everything is fine here…

poem by Maung Day

I shouted to them
they looked puzzled and were staring at me
I shouted again
and they kept looking
their eyes were like those watery eyeballs of fishes…

This series of ink drawings called Metamorphosis was created in the freezing winter month of November 1987 in Winnipeg, Canada. I was studying TESL and English Literature at the U of W and was then living in a house on Walnut Street (we dubbed it the Nut House) as it comprised of painter Robert Reimer, jewellery artist Aliza Amihude, her boyfriend Doug, Elena Feldman, a fellow writer whose name fails me, artist Tim Bremser and myself. This is the only series of drawings I’ve ever produced.
