The Universe
is a stretch of beach
be-spotted with the turds of gulls
each spray or puddle is unique:
The Galaxies

My 1992 art project titled Satellite Art For Extraterrestrials is originally described in the following raw footage video of 22 minutes. The project is hereby designated to commemorate the lives of fourteen young women who were gunned down on this date, December 6th, 1989, at Ecole Polytechnique, Montreal, Quebec — because they were women. With their families’ permission, I now plan to have commemorative markers to be designed and placed at fourteen specific geographic sites in Quebec and Labrador, Canada. Each marker will be placed in memory of what each woman was striving to achieve twenty-six years ago, and in honour of the strides all women continue to make for themselves and all of humanity:

My Painting
titled “I Have Poured Out M(EYE) Black Heart”
* On December 6, 1989, fourteen female engineering students were gunned down, another ten women and four men injured, at Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal, Quebec. The massacre was carried out single handedly by Marc Lepine who claimed he “hated feminists.” He killed himself with the final shot.
