Meditations of David Avon: A Man of the World
The illustrations (relief prints) were inspired/provoked by the spoken words of David Avon, an eccentric artist and philosopher who frequented Hamilton Artists' Inc. in the 1980's. A man whose earthly ambition was to make known to the world his "definition of a word". I followed Mr. Avon for months visiting his home and walking with him to his various haunts in Hamilton's downtown core chatting, debating and questioning his philosophical constructs. I have collected some of the things he said in daily conversation and interpreted them accordingly in a print edition of relief prints.
