The following is an excerpt about my work from an article by Dr. Vera Dernovsek in the February 23 Owen Sound Sun Times about Convergence, the 46th Annual Juried Exhibition at the Tom Thomson gallery.

I brought home with me memory of other impressive works. I will think for a while about The Transience of Power by Bret Culp of Toronto. It is a large black and white photograph (pigment on Somerset velvet rag) of decaying tower surrounded by haphazard, perhaps once cultivated vegetation. The present condition points to an enigmatic past. History is inscribed. Romanticism might be the mode, but the image is nevertheless blatantly modern; the age of chivalry intermingles with Sir Walter Scott's notions while decay due to today's environmental abuse is part of the picture.
-Dr. Vera Dernovsek
