Synopsis
David Collier begins his journal when he trades in a wind-swept prairietown for a big city. For an artist it's a land of opportunity. And his pens don't freeze outside in winter any more! But he finds he has more worries now. The urban landscapes filling his sketchbooks make him feel more remote as an artist then he did on the prairies. The sketchbooks were supposed to document and affirm his new life! Instead their pages become a space where his anxieties wrestle with his desire for a home. As eccentric, diverting, curious, wry and compassionate in life as in his work, David Collier has distilled 20 years of crisscrossing Canada into his books. Fascinated by forgotten people and kooky stories, his work reflects a uniquely Canadian mix of wide-eyed whimsy and prairie-frozen wit.
