Building Materials® is the newest series that I am working on that will perfectly segue into Liz Magor’s GEVA 313 Visual Arts Projects Course that “encourages the development of self-directed projects based on the research of ideas and issues as they pertain to transdisciplinary practices. In consultation with the instructor, the student will propose a series of projects that work from a range of approaches and concerns. The student will synthesize technical, conceptual, and formal skills as they pertain to their own work and the work of others. Discussions, presentations, and critiques form an integral part of the course and develop skills in formal and critical analysis.” 

Building Materials® will be my first truly interdisciplinary series bringing together drawing, painting, sculpture, print, wood construction, metal fabrication, plastics and synthetics; hopefully, in a harmonious and unified whole.

Since enrolling at the Emily Carr Institute, now the Emily Carr University, Building Materials® will be the first series to carry the ‘Kevin Hubbard Design’ badge. What does that mean? Not alot to anyone who isn’t me, but as I see it, it is a step closer towards being able to make the kind of work that I have always wanted to make, as opposed to what I have been able to make.

Daunting, yes. Thrilling, definitely.
