Born to a cancerian in denial, I have thus buried many childhood memories in the far recessess of my mind. In response to this early garden digging I developed a flare for collecting and sharing stories and seeds. My favorite seeds have weight and come in fruits and vegetables ! just finished eating. The stories I adore most, generally focus on the bigger picture themes of humanity and the meaning extracted from the seemingly mundane detail of everyday life.
As I have grow my heroic journey has taken on a raven's quest for truth; methodical and in all directions. Carried on the wind like milkweed or dandelion seeds, seeking fertile new grounds, I have travelled across country and world, filling my pockets with interesting tidbits.

location:environment
Tahsis: sunlight
happily once upon after work
day-dreaming' say-streaming' pound-doing'
I stare at a flag of a striped sunset
wearing a crown
asking the eternal question
poetry or laundry?
to fold or not to fold jack squat socks
future framework of a pieceworkers union
thought webs of co=op farms and greenhouses
but now
clocks ticking
neighbours yelling
sun fans across the sky
like a humming bird migration
the floors that won't sweep themselves
hearth full of soot and me without my dustpan
when the firebugs arrive home
in the whirlwind of news that follows
comparison stories, both piece and pain
the sharing of scores and pot wine
elementary mathematics etched on mindseyes
dinner and boardgames before magic hour
port of call chorus line burns wood fires
with the windows open,
shattered showers abound
temperate rainforests
burl over limestone caves
today I didn't go outside at all
except to the lawn to tend to domestic duties
like feeding the chickens and raking their shit
but soon this station gets departed from
preparations made, bags packed tightly
the clean up is upon us
prior only to being
on the road
again
to strike camp
somewhere else for a time.

arts admini plus cv
location:environment:bruised:quiet
Search Committee
5139 Forrest Road
Port Alberni, B.C.
My name is Sarah Fowler and I am interested in using my skills in organizing and management be considered for the arts administrator position at the Community Arts Council of the Alberni Valley.
My background within the world of arts is extensive and my knowledge of administration and sales spans many industry. When I worked on Parliament Hill as a assistant to a member of parliament I became skilled at Microsoft Word, Publisher, Excel and accounting software. This experience enabled me to become skilled at developing relationships with stake holders, encourage volunterism, as well as, plan and manage any day to day operations of a active office. As an artist I have honed my communication skills for many different situations, making me a valuable resource when a deadline is looming; where pressure is high and the pace is quick. I am a proven self starer when directing my own art projects and this is really how I became focused on following budgets and in learning to diversify funding formulas to fulfill the needs of the project or board members requests. Multi-tasking is a operational necessity when in production of a film, as writing and directing caps are later traded for marketing and promotional abilities, but by far the most important aspect of working within artist run centers is fluidity.
Planning is my passion, but my talent for research and making things happen is the backbone of my success. Most recently, while living in Parksville, I had the privillage to volunteer with the Oceanside Arts Council and work with the artist Connie Watts in arranging for a reception to her gallery show and sculptural unveiling there. I was excited by her at work and craftmanship, so I got more involved in the arts council by running the gift shop and gallery on Saturday mornings, as well as, administrating a winter planned giving drive to the membership. Nowadays I inhabit a rainy slice of the northern island in Tahsis, so my most common media to make art with is wordplay and poetry. The thought of moving to a community with open mike and writers events like those hosted in Port Alberni is thrilling. I have pursued post secondary education but notice the developments of my talents have come more from my experience in working with various community groups. It is through the years spent volunteering time with film festivals, artists groups and galleries that have prepared me to embark on this new adventure.
Please contact me with any questions with regards to my ability to meet your requirements. I hope you will find my CV to be on par with any prime candidates for this opportunity. I look forward to engage with other art lovers on the island and connect with you for an in person interview.
Sincerely,
Sarah Fowler

critique of immense fear
location:environment home alone: wishing i was a farmer
Immense; critique of cripping fear
trama of a drama, or is it vice versa;
carressed in the clumsy embrace of a curious lover
drunk on cheap whiskey and expensive vodka
cozy morning of paralysis, puking and purring;
where i am galled by the gore
we inflict on each other for fun, or perhaps entertainments sake
i wonder at, preciesely,
how many murders on stage or screen i have been a whitness to,
how much pigs blood in close up, makes for a tasty parody of mortality?
in the belly of the beast,
that is where the infant of opportunity can become enjoyment
but the ego of the mind resumes the role
of manager over earthly pleasure or spirit pains
pointedly as pimples pearce the peace of a fair complexion,
perfect beauty broken
independant islands crop up as ideas,
membrains of memory pulse with electricity
switches on and off, gases intermingle floating
with glass balloons thru a landscape of emotion
silence stroked by wild wind to make the sea like a storm or a sheet?
give voice to the self professed shade;
lounge singer or burlesque comedienne
each moment packed with nervous energy,
abounded in spasms of twitch-skratch.
peeling back of the multi-layered character flaws
sandwiched between truths
to know a deep pit in the backyard
where we dump our rubbish and shame
a papaya tree is the only thing
that appears to grow from there,
last i saw it is almost at ground level.
how sad does something have to be before it gets funny?
humour creeps like maggots out of the morbid.
space is eternal, held and supported by time,
striving for calm is a simple acknowledgement
of the vastness within the vessel.

cozy morning of paralysis, puking and purring;
where i am galled by the gore
we inflict on each other for fun, or perhaps entertainments sake
i wonder at, preciesely,
how many murders on stage or screen i have been a whitness to,
how much pigs blood in close up, makes for a tasty parody of mortality?
in the belly of the beast,
that is where the infant of opportunity can become enjoyment
but the ego of the mind resumes the role
of manager over earthly pleasure or spirit pains
pointedly as pimples pearce the peace of a fair complexion,
perfect beauty broken
independant islands crop up as ideas,
membrains of memory pulse with electricity
switches on and off, gases intermingle floating
with glass balloons thru a landscape of emotion
silence stroked by wild wind to make the sea like a storm or a sheet?
give voice to the self professed shade;
lounge singer or burlesque comedienne
each moment packed with nervous energy,
abounded in spasms of twitch-skratch.
peeling back of the multi-layered character flaws
sandwiched between truths
to know a deep pit in the backyard
where we dump our rubbish and shame
a papaya tree is the only thing
that appears to grow from there,
last i saw it is almost at ground level.
how sad does something have to be before it gets funny?
humour creeps like maggots out of the morbid.
space is eternal, held and supported by time,
striving for calm is a simple acknowledgement
of the vastness within the vessel.
