There is a widespread view that we live in unsettling times full of apocalyptic messages. Certainly nothing lasts forever. Whether it's a mountain, a molehill, a distant star or the chocolate bar that has been lodged in the back seat of your parent's car since 1967, all things eventually fade and are no more. As impermanent beings ourselves, we know and ungracefully accept this fact.

One day, the end will come for our friends, our family, our neighbours, our tax auditors, and even for ourselves. Our bodies will cease to function. We will slip through walls and turn to dust. Yes, even the World itself will one day stop spinning on its familiar axis and its property value on the open market will plummet. With all this uncertainty surrounding us, in the words of the artist, "the most radical and subversive thing (he) can say to you right now is; I Love You."

Concerned with ideas of empathy and compassion, Stitt's new work for "Bodily Functions" celebrates and explores one of the most fundamental and complex of human emotions in relation to spirituality, desire, and the divisive forces of capitalist culture.
