In cooperation with Fine Arts Gallery at the University of British Columbia, artist Iain Baxter, President of N.E. Thing Co. commissioned Kurt to write an essay to accompany a portfolio of fifty-eight black and white photographs of piles - chains, lumber, donuts, wire, scrap metal, cargo containers - the sorts of piles we see around us every day. In the same way he played rugby, Kurt grabbed the subject and ran with it in an entertaining, informative and unexpected way.
