About this artwork
When I was a very young boy living in Nova Scotia, I used to walk down a narrow gravel pathway to a two roomed school house. The mysterious and perpetually foggy Atlantic Ocean mere feet away, greeted me almost every morning. Still, I wasn't afraid. Even with my journey hazy and unseen before me, I confidently carried my tin Batman lunch box with me. A constant and steady reminder of my dream of being a super hero one day. All my friends brought… their painted dreams in those tightly clenched tin boxes. This lifted society that I created over my forty years as an artist, pays tribute to one of the earliest memories that I have. The excitement to learn and the daring to want to know.
These children are also floating in on their dreams revealed, anxious to pursue and to discover their beckoning hazy futures.
