All Things Considered - Thoughts about Cities and History, War and Peace was published to document a cross-country tour and inlcudes an essay from each participating gallery. The monograph was published with Dalhousie Art Gallery, Kelowna Art Gallery and the McMaster Museum of Art. Essays by Ihor Holubizky, Liz Wylie, Peter Dykhuis and Jeanne Randolph.
