As one of Canada’s most respected corporations, RBC understands the value of creative expression in society. Human nature seeks to understand and interpret the world around us, and we believe it is through the discipline, dedication and skill displayed by our artists that these explorations are enhanced.
A customary memento for many universities is the yearbook. Here at NSCAD University, with the generous assistance of the RBC Emerging Artists Project, we produce the Graduation Catalogue. In it, we feature not simply who we are, but what we do. Instead of a collection of faces, we present our creations: the best work of our enormously talented graduates.
DAVID B. SMITH President
As you look through these pages, you’ll see what happens when talent and passion meet opportunity, when creativity is sparked and challenged through collaboration and guidance. With a NSCAD education, our graduates will go on to inform – even define – the direction of craft, design, film and fine art, both in Canada and beyond, for years to come. Our 2009 graduates are entering an uncertain economy, yet one where the capacity for creativity, critical thinking and innovation offers a genuine competitive edge. I want to thank our continuing partner in this project, RBC, along with the Halifax office of RBC Dominion Securities, for sharing our belief in the value of the arts - and an arts education – to society. No project of this quality and magnitude is possible without exceptional leadership, so I’m delighted to recognize interns, Jeremy White, B.Des ‘09, who designed this catalogue, and Anna FitzGerald, BFA ’09, our exhibition curator. This year’s publication is a testament to their evident talent, commitment and professionalism, and we thank them sincerely.
STEWART ROBINSON
Branch Manager, RBC Dominion Securities
We put our convictions about creativity into action with the RBC Emerging Artists Project, through which we help talented students make the transition from the academic to the entrepreneurial world of the arts. Our ongoing partnership with NSCAD University in support of the annual graduation exhibition and catalogue provides us the opportunity to share in a culture that fosters creativity and self-expression. Here at RBC Dominion Securities, we take this exciting collaboration a step further by featuring the work of NSCAD students throughout our Halifax office and, as a result, introducing these artists to our many visitors. RBC is proud to celebrate creative vision and artistic talent in our community, and wishes the 2009 NSCAD University graduates continued success.
If a university is defined by the quality of its graduates, then this 2009 catalogue once again confirms NSCAD University’s reputation as one of Canada’s leading fine arts institutions. On behalf of the faculty and staff, I extend our warmest congratulations to our new alumni and wish you every success in your creative careers.

What you will find within the pages of this catalogue is a testament to the hard work of students at NSCAD University. On the surface you will see a diverse array of art, craft and design practices. By considering only these finished products, the process of education that shaped each and every one of my fellow graduates, is concealed.
EMILY DAVIDSON President of SUNSCAD
This process is about more than a simple exchange of tuition fees for lessons in line, shape, colour, and texture. The education of artists and designers is dependant on the ability of the institution to foster critical thinking and to be open to critiques. Being a NSCAD student involves more than producing art; it means being part of the student movement that dares to insist that education is a right. We have contributed to the NSCAD community just as much as the knowledge and experience gained at NSCAD University formed us. Students will continue to be a force of progressive change, working towards a more equitable society. Our hard work should be measured not only by what we have made during our time at NSCAD, but by what we have fought for.

In 1970, Lowell Darling, AKA Dudley Finds, founded the Fat City School of Finds Art. The school had graduated over 50,000 MFAs before Finds was killed in 1975. The school’s motto, “we don’t make art, we finds it”, is a poignant reminder of Dudley Finds’ important role in art education. The diploma bears the signatures of Dana Atchley (1941-2000) and Mr. Peanuts (Vincent Trasov). The seal of Atchley’s Ace Space Company is affixed. This degree was conferred in the spring of 1972.

These are collaborative projects we worked on in our first two terms as Master of Design Students. We designed a new food store concept aimed at helping people make ethical and sustainable food purchases; a series of figurative toys to address cultural and contextual issues; DesignLab, a design consultation and research service for projects that adhere to issues of public concern; and one outcome of the DesignLab: the redesign of the Community and Cultural Affairs portion of the Halifax Regional Municipal website.

Message from the
JEREMY WHITE Catalogue Designer
The overall theme of this catalogue is an observation of the physical spaces that students inhabit within the walls of NSCAD University. It seems no matter how clean a space may be when a project begins, there will always be a layer of mess left behind.
Nathan Boone: responsible for the artwork photography on the following pages: 14, 30, 41, 42, 67, 75, 86, 103, 105, 109, and 119.
This so-called mess isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Like anthropologists studying artifacts left behind by ancient cultures, this residue is evidence of the level of work that each student has accomplished. Each new stain is a representation of a piece of work that was created within the space. With each new artist working within this space, a new layer is added to the floors, walls, and by-standing objects in an accidental manner. The layers of paint, ink, clay and the countless other materials used — which can be commonly seen throughout school — are represented in the catalogue’s theme.
STEVE FARMER: responsible for the image of Stewart Robinson on page 3
The imagery was developed to give the overall aesthetic and tone a more accidental appeal. Instead of just straight-forward painted text, this accidental splatter effect allows each stain to break the barrier of the implied letter. This concept is inspired by the students of NSCAD University: each time one of our graduates leaves after breaking their own barriers, they also leave their mark on the school and inspire the creativity and interest in other students. It has been a great honour working with the Anna Leonowens Gallery staff in creating this project and once again I would like to thank all those involved who helped me to complete it. I hope you enjoyed the work of the 2009 NSCAD graduating class and the mark that they have made.
