I feel compelled to mention that Karl Mattson is an environmentalist who does not harm nor kill any animals. Rural living in northern B.C. provides plenty of carcasses for those who want them. A while ago I posted an image of Karl Mattson's excellent Surveyor sculpture at mile zero of the Alaska Highway in Dawson Creek. I actually prefer the dystopic sculptures posted here. In the summer I got to see Peep Show and Dust Bunny for real. The horrifying aspects of the work seem to me like an appropriate response to the enormity of environmental destruction and toxic intrusion that is felt much more immediately by people living in Canada's north than it is by those of us (those of us who don't have asthma, that is) in the middle of the GTA.
Do you know what holiday it is today?
We are used to the fact that we know only religious and public holidays and celebrate only them.
I found out about this only yesterday after visiting the site https://whenisholiday.com/.
It turns out that every day there are from 2 to 10 different holidays that surround us and make our lives happier.
Here is one of the holidays that will be today:
