Book collaborations with writing partner Charlie Angus now in the National Library of Canada. Beginning in the 1990's I collaborated with long-time writing partner Charlie Angus on numerous PROJECTS: while working on the Cage Call book.  We experimented with our work, combining text and images. This resulted in two PROJECTS:, Industrial Cathedrals of the North and Mirrors of Stone.  These published pieces authored by Charlie Angus can be now be found in the National Library of Canada and have also been selected by numerous libraries throughout Canada and the United States.
