Doug(las) Lewis      artist, curator

 3rd Practice Projects
selected  works:
Most of my work is influenced by the everyday–a continuous search for urban narratives and processes that either link or contradict each other. Cultural theorist artist Noel Arnaud once declared, "I am the space where I am". His concept became the scaffold for my art practice. In 2008 I moved to China (returning to Canada in 2021). My fourteen years in China profoundly influenced and inspired what I create; I often ask myself "how can I maintain the spirit of being a  constant traveler"? 
Not a cultural voyeur, but intentionally lost in an artistic process of revering and observing contexts. And always in a mode of quiet interaction. ​My work, no matter where or what medium, works reflexively.  I need to be learning new materials and regularly make sculpture, video, and photography: audio, drawings and paintings are a regular part of my practice. My present focus is with video installations that explore cinematic phenomena that existing between sound and vision. ​

I'm  consistently entertain myself by finding new ways and mediums to express myself, and in as many mediums as I can learn to use. This includes recycled and found objects.  Music and what I call "3rd Practice Projects", which is a bridge between curating and art making.
