EN ROUTE
ABOUT EN ROUTE
Scarborough is a diverse community with a creative pulse. Scarborough Arts has
been serving the Scarborough community by developing, delivering and promoting arts programming and cultural initiatives for almost 40 years. As one of the City of
Toronto’s Local Arts Service Organizations, Scarborough Arts bring artists to the community and community to the arts.
Each year, Scarborough Arts produces its Annual Juried Exhibition, an exhibition
of art created and curated in response to a themed call. This year, to celebrate its
30th anniversary, we have combined the Annual Juried Exhibition with the publication of the BIG ART BOOK. All visual and literary artworks accepted by the jury
are published into the BIG ART BOOK’s anthology with “Juror’s Choice” pieces additionally showcased within the Annual Juried Exhibition. T H E BIG ART BO OK…

FOREWORD & ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Jen D. Fabico, Scarborough Arts Program Director
I can honestly state that I do not recall the first time that I travelled - whether that concept consists of my very first trip home from the hospital or the very first time I
boarded a plane. I can honestly state that I do not recall every footstep or decision I had made to land me where I am today. However, I can honestly state that I know I
am here in this particular place, at this particular time, for a reason, regardless of if those footsteps were deliberate or not or those decisions beneficial or not.
Whether as artists or individuals, within our journey, we move away from comfort -
the places we had come to know and the people with whom we had come to grow. Each time we take a step away from comfort, we step into new challenges and flux; we step closer towards ourselves.
As you view and review this collection reflecting En Route, I hope you are rattled to
your core with change and unease; but at the same time, I hope that that encourages you on your journey to keep moving as artists and as individuals. Regardless of how
much you may stray or how different your adventure looks from the next individual, may you always be en route.
After 30 years of hosting the Annual Juried Exhibition, it still continues to be one of Scarborough Arts’ most beloved and monumental programs. Over time, we con-
tinued to celebrate its milestones and grow its opportunities and in its 30th year, we felt that it was only fitting to continue to grow and expand. Therefore, this year, En
Route joins the Annual Juried Exhibition and the BIG ART BOOK. The program
now includes workshops and opportunities for children, youth, adults and seniors, a visual and literary component with a digital and physical publication, a visual arts
exhibition, and an event which showcases visual arts, literary arts and performances.
11
With any of our Scarborough Arts programs, there is much love, energy and ef-
forts from a dedicated team of individuals; En Route proves no different. First and
foremost, I would like to acknowledge my colleague, Marianne Rellin, who worked tirelessly within multiple roles; she also designed and created the layout for this beautiful anthology. We were grateful to be assisted by Ivanka Dakaii this year, as
well as Ash Jahromi who facilitated our photography workshop. This year we were
joined by the notable visual artist Andy Fabo and poetry curator Anna Nieminen
who carefully and diligently juried each visual arts and literary submission. Lastly, congratulations to all of our En Route artists on their merits, triumphs and travels. May you continue to growth and excel in your first years, your 30th year and beyond. The Annual Juried Exhibition and BIG ART BOOK gratefully acknowledges the support of the Ontario Arts Council and the City of Toronto.

JUROR’S STATEMENT Anna Nieminen, Literary Arts Juror
This year’s theme, En Route, invited writers to reflect on transitioning and travelling. In these poems, journeys and encounters on roads and rivers, and past milestones and markers, lead to shifts in consciousness and experiences of catharsis. In Denise Kemp’s Our Journey, a family on a road trip leaves its conflicts in the past. The narrator observes the present in her rear-view mirror: her children are content in the back seat, and her family is and will be okay. In Sheila Bello’s I Change Lanes, the rear-view mirror reflects unrequited dreams of the past, but this seasoned traveller has her sight focused on the future. Sometimes the journey forward requires accepting the past or returning there for wisdom and inspiration. Other motifs include various winged insects, different types of trees, and references to autumn, reflecting the importance of connecting literally or imaginatively to nature in many of these experiences of being en route. Whether the journey is down the Amazon to the Atlantic, or from Scarborough to Spadina Station, or through a short or longterm relationship, the path tends to lead to a deeper understanding of the Self. This year’s prize winners are a mother and daughter duo. Youth winner Patricia Goudie’s Travels is suggestive of a student glimpsing the mysteries of her own mind as she journeys into the realms of the humanities and the sciences. In Lisa Hazelwood-Goudie’s A Beautiful Plainness, the narrator’s encounter on the subway with a winged seatmate takes her back to her school days when she was a wallflower among other Plain Janes; when the narrator follows her seatmate off at Spadina Station, one senses that she may no longer feel the need to be so manicured. I invite you to take an artistic and philosophical journey through these literary works. You will likely encounter yourself as you were, as you are, or perhaps as you envision yourself, for being en route is the universal human experience. Anna Nieminen is a poetry curator from Scarborough. She led her first Scarborough Poetry Walk in May 2015 as part of the Jane’s Walk festival. She was Guest Curator of Scarborough Arts’ Poetry Came in Search of Me for Ontario Culture Days 2015. Anna is co-facilitating the Scarborough Poetry Club at the Agincourt Library. She plans to publish a collection of her mother Valma Nieminen’s Finnish language poems with English translations using the Toronto Public Library’s Asquith Press Book Printing Service.

JUROR’S STATEMENT Andy Fabo, Visual Arts Juror
En Route is an evocative theme and the artists in this show have responded in a diverse manner. This French phrase conjures travel, so vehicles of transportation – planes, boats, cars, buses and vans – would materialize as images. However, far more of the artists creating evocative works for this publication and exhibition offered a vision of a more personal type of journey. This was the inner journey and the visual manifestations of this introspective voyage were places and faces, abstract motifs, or dream-like vistas of the imagination. The two winners took us to different geographic terrains to reveal a little of themselves. Shayne Darling, the winner of the youth award with her small painting, The Wolf, took us to the timberlands of the northern hemisphere with a blue wolf ’s head against a scarlet background. This disarming depiction would have been the envy of any number of iconic artists like Paul Klee, Jean Dubuffet, or Keith Haring who were inspired by the lack of self-consciousness of young artists. It is charming how the predatory wolf morphs into a guileless (self-) portrait of a young girl, inadvertently subverting the fairy tale of the Little Red Riding Hood. Aleena Zaidi takes us to an arid desert landscape that could be anywhere from Morocco to Pakistan, but the complex geometric patterning and Islamic architecture incised into the pale blue, pink and tan sandy colour field evoke a meditative vista. One is alone; you feel a sense of estrangement, but you also feel the calm of the vast, history-pocked terrain. This strong sense of affect led me to choose the work as the adult award winner. Travel is often most rewarding when we get lost and make unexpected discoveries – when we discover charming cul-de-sacs, surprising glades, hidden courtyards or an oasis out of the blue. There are many such gems in this eclectic mix, the geographies of our imaginations. Andy Fabo is a Toronto artist, art critic, curator and art educator. He has exhibited nationally and internationally, with a retrospective at the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art in 2005. He has published essays and reviews in Canadian periodicals (Descant, Parachute, C Magazine, Fuse) as well as numerous exhibition catalogues, and has taught full-time and part-time at various universities, including McMaster, Brock, York, and University of Toronto, and at the Toronto School of Art. His paintings and drawings are in museum collections across Canada and his videos (in collaboration with Michael Balser) have shown globally and are in collections in North America and Europe.

SHEILA BELLO
T WO PAT HS Past and present intersect
as I travel simultaneously along two paths;
one internal and punctuated with memory gaps as I reminisce about landscapes crossed
in the hazy past; the other, on a crowded bus towards my employment place. Facing red lights at a junction,
the bus stops. Jolted from reflection
on how to make the present more pleasant with insights from the past, I readjust my position on the seat.
34
SHEILA BELLO { Juror’s Choice }
I CHANGE LANES In the autumn of my existence
I change lanes and exit from the highway onto a less busy side road. Growing weary,
and infused with wisps of melancholy I drive slowly, pausing intermittently to abandon by the wayside some unrequited dreams
that have gathered dust and rust. Logic, intuition and instinct
tell me they no longer have merit and should be replaced.
In my rear-view mirror,
fleeting landscapes vanish.
Other sights appear in my radar as I drive along.
35
SHEILA BELLO
T H E ROAD TODAY En route since birth,
time continues to propel me
on my journey through existence. Along the way
I have flicked snowflakes
from my boots, seen bare trees fill up with spring leaves,
gardened in the summer heat,
and frolicked on sandy beaches. The road today
is littered with wilting leaves. A howling wind pushes me in the path of turbulence.
I pause to regain my balance. I do not know
when or where I will exit from existence.
Until then, I will be moving along.

T H E WONDER The years which have led me into middle age
unwittingly, unwittingly, have yet been kind.
What I used to hate I now love
what I used to love I now adore What I cannot change I accept
what I can’t accept I try to change. I may be a better man
I am not a different man
just no longer playing, portraying
the one others would have be me. I take a deep breath
exhale, inhale again, slowly appreciate everything
which has brought me here.

UNDER CONST RUCT ION I am putting myself under construction Bring out the bulldozers and backhoes!
Construction workers in steel-toe boots and Orange vest with reflective tape! Set up detours and safety cones! When did I become A one-way street?
Narrow-minded, controlling and rigid? Is my future so important that I forgot my past? I need to stop. I need to tear myself up, Rip myself apart,
Split down the middle
Paint white lines down the centre Of my body, my mind, my heart. I need to start looking back.
I need to remember where I came from‌ So I can go forward.

LISA GOUDIE { Juror’s Choice }
SCENIC RO U T E You are... My beautiful, frightening detour...
My (ad)venture down an empty dirt road Relying on corner store directions From the voices of Babel. My crumpled up map
Tossed out the window
Of your 1986 Trans Am
(With broken passenger door and its Colour more rust than blue.)
I want to be lost always with you... My scenic route.
55
LISA GOUDIE { Juror’s Choice }
A BEAU T I F UL P LAI NNESS… A beautiful plainness
Rested upon my thigh
On a west-bound train,
Her wings a labyrinth of copper and sand. I thought about sending her on her way
Flicking her off with my French manicure But I didn’t.
As seatmates changed At Warden, Pape
And Broadview,
I wondered why I let her stay. Why she never stirred
Perhaps we recognized each other From another life
Flowers decorating the school gym wall Sitting knee to knee
Waiting for the dance. Perhaps that was why I remained Past my stop At Bloor,
Finally following her off through the doors At Spadina.

MOT H ERLESS CH I LD No-one can hear you, no-one can see you, so far away, deep in the wild.
Dust flies in your face mixed with the tear drops,
so many teardrops
fall from your eyes. I’ll shine a light in the window,
thru the darkness. I’ll shine a light
to find you inside.
Now, all the world
can see you and hear you, will love you and heal you
Motherless child. A tribute to all of those who shine a light in the darkness.
58
TERESA HALL { Juror’s Choice }
NAT URE Because of you my soul has
been sustained. The ugly side of life
pushed away.
Patterned leaves trace against
an indigo sky.
In the distance
white pines rise. River running over rocks, calls out
my name. A simple
Leopard frog proof of
life renewed.
Cicadas belt out summer’s
red-hot refrain.
Iridescent wings
flash by, alight…. Yes, now
the world is good again.

T RANSI T IONS At 33, I left a dead-end relationship and came to Toronto not knowing anyone except my family, then found a large apartment near the Scarborough Bluffs which
would accept my two beloved Chihuahuas. I wrote poetry in between low-paying
jobs and knew that I needed to land a well-paying position at King and Bay Street in order to receive benefits and eventually buy a home. I made it through the challenging interviews and with a mix of trepidation and excitement started my new position with over 100 friendly staff. I was on my way!

ELIZABETH KEHOE
MUMMY I lay there
Tangled in his sheets Feeling so ugly
He was so beautiful I’d conned my way Into this... Picture
He wrapped me up so tight Bound — unfrozen in time As I unravel
Somewhat preserved Time
Not so ugly But
Waking up alone And it’s too late
Even if he found me Wanted me
Fulfilled my fantasies It’s too late
I go back in time Into my dreams
Then wake in such despair
Fighting my way back and forward To meaningful moments
64
ELIZABETH KEHOE { Juror’s Choice }
TAT TO O ART IST You placed your hand Upon
My cold white skin
Frozen to the sheets
Hot handprints and fingertips Branding touch —
I enjoyed the pain,
You’re burned into me Forever
Multicoloured Body etching
“This trophy is awarded to...” Finally!
I can melt
Sometimes
‘cause you’re my Butterfly Tattoo

ELIZABETH KEHOE
SP I DER MAN The spider spins his web Enticing
Game board
Place where fantasies hide
Love you love you love, love You have seen The Light — You live in The Light
Fool’s gold in a darkened room The spider spins his web You feed together
Until he’s finished Playing with you Toying with you
Or you get it! —
Caught between the lines And he eats you.

JOAN KEHOE
MY P LACE The moment it happened I knew
Colours spilled around me like pearls freed
from a string
Paths opened to dreams Trees talked to me
I had discovered poetry My place to walk to run to see
to feel
to dream
I could float on a cloud-puffed ocean even fly
Trail coloured ribbons Whirl with butterflies
Explore all my possibilities With the touch of a pen
67
JOAN KEHOE
NIGH T RAI N Awakened in the deep dark of night by the incessant patter of rain on my windows Sounds change as wind joins in Wet swishes and moans reverberate A loud clatter A gentle roar Ebb and flow of sound I open the window just slightly to hear every word Not enough to allow the rain inside I breathe the cool damp air Then the rain becomes a gentle tinkling clitter clatter As wind sudsides the rain ends Brief silence as dawn approaches Suddenly birds begin a cacaphony of songs and chatter No hope for sleep now As dawn breaks the birds watch the sun as it sweeps across the gardens in a warm wide smile 68
JOAN KEHOE { Juror’s Choice }
WI N T ER’S LADY Autumn swirled through her jewelled fingers Through the thrilled trees Bedazzled they shed
Quiet summer green Dressed to dance
In rich brown velvet red Ripping gold Spent
They laid their vivid gowns In supplication
On the cooled land Pied pipered
Stripped again
By Winter’s siren Lady Autumn Danced away
Singing songs and Whirling trails
Of crumpled velvet at her heels To fling
Beneath the feet of Winter

DENISE KEMP { Juror’s Choice }
WAT ERSH ED Like vultures they tore at my skin Forcing me to withdraw within But in a watershed moment, I was empowered
I rest my weary bones beneath an old willow While contemplating this magical furlough There’s no negative energy In this sanguine sanctuary
Sunlight skims across the wide open river In brilliant shades of shimmering silver The bountiful river flows My soul glows
Through unruly bulrushes, The wind wind gushes
Rivers can’t be permanently contained
Nor can my dreams and visions be curtailed I had shed my skin;
Freed the butterfly within
Barriers were transcended,
And all paths led to Watershed!
70
DENISE KEMP { Juror’s Choice }
O UR JO URNE Y We buried our hatchets
Alongside the ghosts of egos past
Emerged from the rubble of our once mighty walls! We counted our scars
Remembered to thank our lucky stars … And to stop and smell the roses In my rear view mirror
I observe my children’s smiles
And the look of wonder in their eyes The road is long but it’s passable
The journey isn’t always easy, but it’s plausible Disregarding the naysayers, we soldier on
We’re sentient to the shift in consciousness; So complete is our souls’ catharsis
And we’re constantly learning and evolving
71
DENISE KEMP
ALMOST CANADIAN, EH? We landed at Pearson Airport amidst a downpour of rain. It dampened our spirits, but spring soon perked up. Pavements became sidewalks. We drove on the opposite side of the road. Hockey replaced rugby. Who had we become? What of our South African memories, and those we left behind? Canada was gloriously hot
during the summer. Autumn fell and so did the leaves; formed the most beautiful mosaics we’d ever seen. Soon we were colder than we’d ever been. Oh, Great
White North, your winters make me cry. But I’m happy in my friendly new home; I’m warm inside.

UN T I T LED One day
In the classic 5 or 10 years
We will meet again And by then
You will have outlived my fantasies And be lit by just the sun Instead of emitting
Some effulgent glow You will have dirt
Beneath your soles Instead of clouds
Laced around your ankles You will have lived
You will have lived longer Down on earth
Than up in my mind
Life will have weathered you Instead of the what-ifs
That work to preserve you You will have long gone Past the cross
Of our intersecting stories

T H E CI T Y IS A DREAMER The city is a dreamer
Building high-rises to kiss the stars Looking down from the top Wishing on speeding cars
Wish for 3 cherries in your future That, that pot of gold
Comes before the end
That the miracle of life Leaves you blessed
The city is a stranger
Rolling off the side of my bed
And I dare not ask for a number ‘Cause there’s nothing to be said
For the way it hugs then snuffs you All in the same movement Yeah its common courtesy To be cold as a cubicle
Everyone’s wrapped up In themselves

until the open Atlantic receives my vessel at journey’s end.
