I am putting together a photo album of Kitsilano Beach on a low tide
( in Vancouver 2022) It's a historical project for people who live in
Vancouver that enjoy going to the beach and for tourists or anyone
interested in Vancouver. the pictures show you just how different
Kitsilano looks with\ less water at the beach and you are able to see
a lot of what is underneath the water in Kits Beach.

I hope you will like this series. The pictures came unexpected as I looked into chrysanthemum bush. I came closer and closer to see that as the leaves were changing colours and textures the movement and contrasts looked very beautiful. So, I took pictures. To my surprise, when I developed my pictures, there is quite a bit to see.

Luckily, it's really easy to scroll fast from the very bottom to the top of the document to figure out how to align these images for the story.. I am still sad about the passing of my uncle when I think about it but obviously I don't feel the same as when I began creating the story with the poetry and the pictures. I am still interested in the subject of death, memory and loss i...

It's amazing what you find in a puddle. Good thing, it rains a lot in Vancouver. You learn a lot about painting by editing these pictures. Here is a rough draft of pictures for Lighthouse, the Bird and the Poem on the Shore.

It's one thing to take the pictures...and another to see how they are
going tp look like on screen. What you see is not exactly what you get here.
Most puddles have lots of marks in them that need to be polished.
Hope you enjoy these pictures here.

This photography installation is a mural about a boat and the sea and
has twelve abstract photographs from underneath the boat that I took in
Jericho Beach Vancouver in May 2017.
The waves and the movements they make on the edge of the shore
certainly do create pictures on the surface of objects there. Over time,
the end result of their movements is that they usually break things
apart that are not of the sea and surrender them on the sand. This
persistent process of renewal can be ver...

I am really glad that i found this boat at Jericho Beach. Initially, when I thought about writing t
he Lighthouse, the Bird and the Poem on the Shore I was thinking that a man with a white beard and an other wordly presence that was ship wrecked would appear in the story. I don't think I will be writing about him but I definitely know iI will include this boat into the story. I am pulled in by it.

murals
We put mural installations up on a wall as an act of
remembrance. Traditionally, they have been used in the urban landscape
for historical or political reasons. Murals bring our personal ideas
into the collective memory in the public sphere. People want to remember
a part of themselves in public and speak about it. Nobody wants to be
anonymous to themselves or to others in what is around them since it is a
form of estrangement. We are a part of the buildings and objects

This drawing is called
Love. I made it when I was 18 years old at Laval University and had to say in my down on a Friday night because I had a sprained ankle. I wanted to go out dancing instead. It was interrupted with my friend from down the hall coming to her room in a wheel chair with a security guard bringing here in. She had fainted at the door of the residence hoping her boyfriend would take her into her arms until he brought her into her room. Wishful thinking.

If you walk by this corner of 4th and Burrard, you might see some grass, bits of twigs and a large tree. To see this you might need to look past your definition of “an empty lot.” To see nature a bit further, you might need to look at it for a longer time , through your own eyes, so that what it means to you depends on your own experience of it rather than on a generic existing definit...

I don't know how the pictures will turn out after each photo shoot at the beach. I usually find surprises I never thought I would find. What you think you are looking at from afar is something else once you focus in on it with more time - shadows, puddles, bark, light- as well as people and animals walking by. I am finding it challenging to not repeat what I thought has been working for me so far so as to not make the story redundant...I hope these pictures will be able to help me to think...

Is it a history book, a diary or a quiet promise of something new that is coming in the world that has not yet come, a present of some sort ? With enough courage, I suppose scribbles do unfold valiantly and give a new shape to this world. Perhaps, it is the idea that something new come out of nowhere and that it renews us that fascinates us.

Love is small spurts

chubby, with one fang, a crooked tail and no nails
from no special caste you came, grey and white
jumping so freely
like a small dolphin coming to kiss my hand
with a splash
a small push on my hand
with a sound of innocence that had no boundaries of definition

It was great to go to the Native Education Centre on Saturday to work on my art
in the morning and go to the Vancouver Art Gallery in the afternoon

I saw those Cree words again
like a graffiti in coloured pastels
coming undone
and tying themselves back together
in the radiance of the open sky at night.

was that imperfect moment of indecison,
just a forgotten possibility
- a perhaps, if and a maybe-
underneath the log and in between the twigs
that tumbled in my mind as an impression

lifting us up and then
appearing
into the x-rayed memories of the shrubs, the leaves and the blue sky
as we begin to wake up
and see that it was always all there

at first you looked almost like a rock
only more driven and determined
silent and unpredictable
ready to open
inside the most ordinary and brilliant wrapping
a bouquet, a truffle or a secret
usually unannounced
with no ribbons

In between what we know
casual
not in a place
but in a moment
in a haze
as the eyelids begins to open
until they are just about opened
in between knowledge and rubbish
an instant where we keep and discard
that urban space of existence

Fading was the summer breeze,
the city lights down below,
the neon signs flashing,
and the reflections of casual traffic
below the SFU Pub
into particles and rays of lights
as I slowly began to open my eyes
and saw us dancing
faster and faster
to the fiddling and drums
of the music

out of the darkness
there was a puff of smoke
emerging
as if a small ball of light had been thrown out of nowhere
opening
was a firebird
becoming a brilliant light
dancing
stamped in the clouds like a heavenly logo
with wings that lit up the sky
rasberry red

her day started to fade into a dream again
ink reassembled and dispersed for interpretation
the patterns appeared
with their busy streets, detours and noise
shifting and moving around
slowly re-enacting the sounds
of the Salish stage

**********************************
Inside the heart of our silence, we can hear a bird singing on a tree as if it were a part of ourselves with an innocence that is as clear as crystal. Without speaking, they teach us what we can become. Animals connect us to parts of ourselves, angles that do not always have a voice or a definition yet,but always remind us that the best of who we are does not necessarily have any limitations. Animals t...

Look at me
But don't look at me
love and hate me
stay in between
spin
I'm your pie, your puff of smoke and your baby
one more time
smack
and the door opens again
but you do not look
at the consequences spiralling
at that face you do not want to see
that tells you that..
pleasure is a farce

The life that supports our breath, one after the other, is brilliant. It leaves masterpies in abundance. This creative symphony which is moving everywhere without a trace is backed up by an imagination which teaches us to love and care for what we see and enjoy it. It leaves its memories, on the surface of the earth, in the spirit of play.

I am hoping to find a front row view
as the formations of dirt
and the particles in the air
settle in their timely yet unpredictable matter
into a form
with the self-determined conviction of
all that is new

This article was written for the Georgia Straight at :
http://www.straight.com/news/620676/susana-roque-why-we-should-talk-about-jpeg-arts
A JPEG doesn’t
seem to represent art. At first, it seems like the JPEG is so
insignificant that we should really laugh if anybody ever talks about it
in an artistic setting. After all, isn’t it just a medium to transport
our ideas from one place to another, a modern-day quipu with pixels
acting as knots, transferring our art into the digital landsc...

as if the pages had become mirrors

intersection: This picture is from a series of photographs that were taken on a seemingly "empty" lot in the intersection of Burrard and 4th street in Vancouver. I tried to find poetry and meaning along the edge of the wall of the building beside the lot, right along were the bushes were growing against. The picture is also influenced by abstract expressionism, arte povera and earth art.
This picture is at an intersection between the chaos and unrestricted growth in nature and the predictabil...

I would like to add short poems and pieces of writing here with my pictures and sketches. Hopefully, you will like them. These ideas are taken from my sketchbook.
The pillow book is a movie where someone wrote about 4 lines of poem everyday to illustrate her life . I may have pieces of poetry here like this since I enjoy writing things about my day.

engraved on the earth where different marks,
like symbols
as if they were mneumonic devices,
tapping into these parts of the forests,
like opening different stories,
I remembered the fresh air
and the brave hikes
and conversations
concaved in to different parts of the earth
as if these places still had our imprints
