John Dickson Portfolio: Dark Magic
AN ONLINE SUPPLEMENT TO THE WINTER 2009 PRINT EDITION OF CANADIAN ART
Installation view of John Dickson’s Smoking City (2004–06) at the Visual Arts Centre of Clarington

This special bonus portfolio of five images recaps a decade’s worth of Dickson’s creative chaos.
