Canadian Academy of Arts and graduated with an A.O.C.A. in
sculpture/installation from the Ontario College of Art & Design in 1994.
Belmore employs a variety of media in order to investigate our use of
technology and how it has affected our relationship to the environment. It is
through his use of materials that Belmore brings into account how we view
nature as commodity. Belmore's work has
been exhibited nationally and internationally and is represented in the
permanent collections of various institutions and numerous private collections.
He feels that the process of art making, more specifically the creation of outdoor
art is a responsive action and is personal and often deeply rooted history. </span><a href="http://nmai.si.edu/exhibitions/hide/michael.html">http://nmai.si.edu/exhibitions/hide/michael.html</a></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Bonnie Blink
house was one of the first settler houses built on Manitoulin. The name Bonnie
Blink means 'beautiful view'. When the Robinson-Huron Treaty enabled white settlement on Manitoulin, <span style="font-family: Cambria;"> the original 15 acres of the farm was purchased by
James Lewis in 1880, and stayed in the family until 1930 when it was purchased
by Douglas Murray, who started Manitoulin Gardens, purchasing additional
property until it was 100 acres. </span>
The house on the property variously housed its owners
and descendants, as well as local and migrant workers. Located near the
Sheguiandah First Nation, the property and this project present an important
site from which geographers and artists will be able to interrogate land use
history, immigrant and worker issues, and community stories about agriculture,
culture and community. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><span style="font-size: small;">Diana Parill, the current owner of the house approached 4e with a vision of running an arts project about the Bonnie Blink house and farm. After three years of dreaming, planning and co-ordination, we have an exciting, multi-facted community project. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><span style="font-size: small;">Artists and
geographers will be researching and mapping the physical history of the site,
working with local archives and talking with community members about their
knowledge of local histories. Community members are invited to share their
stories, contribute to the mapping project and participate in the various
activities that run throughout the program.</span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><span style="font-size: small;">Drop in for a visit
to see what the artists are up to. Talk to geographers about how they figure
out land use history, and tag along with them on the site. Sign up for a
workshop. Come to talk. Drop in to the Story Social and share a memory. </span></span></div>
