PULP Group Exhibition
Throughout the last 2,000 years, paper has played a crucial
role in collecting and sharing information and ideas and has
allowed us a window into the past. In the modern world, where
digital information is consumed ad nauseam, the artists in
PULP are embracing the poetic simplicity of paper, and wielding
its unparalleled ability to capture emotion, texture, data,
knowledge, and imagination. PULP is the latest iteration in a
series of mediumcentric group exhibitions, focused on a common
theme – in this case, paper – that highlights each artist’s
interpretation of the medium. PULP opens Friday, April 5 at
the Nelson Museum, Archives & Gallery, and runs through
July 27.
In the hands of artists from across Canada, the artworks that
embody PULP speak to personal, regional, socio-political, and
historic symbology; seen in the feminist forms of Gathie Falk
and Badanna Zack, with an Indigenous perspective through
Robert Lawrence Moore (Larry)
November 1st, 1955 – October 26th, 2023
On the night of October 26th, 2023,
Larry passed away peacefully with his
beloved by his side at the Victorian
Community Health Centre in Kaslo,
BC. He was 67 years old when his battle
with esophageal cancer ended.
Born on November 1, 1955, in Kingston,
Ontario to Marilyn and Bill Moore,
Larry grew up with his brothers, Tony
and David. He attended school in Ignace,
Ontario, Calgary, Alberta and
Victoria, BC.
Larry’s energy and enthusiasm seemed
boundless. He lived with an air of spontaneity
but was steadfast in his belief
and values. He was a mystic and seeker
at heart, inspired by the likes of George
Harrison and Bruce Lee. He acknowledged
his many teachers, and none
touched him more profoundly than
those who shared their indigenous wisdom
and traditions with him. Fierce in
his support of what he knew to be right,
he did not turn away from telling truth
to power. In this, he was a bit of a contradiction
- while openly and frequently
confronting authority, much of his truth
telling and advocacy was done doggedly
and quietly. To many of his friends, he
was a true ally and a beacon of hope.
Larry was an intelligent and creative
man who did good work with both his
hands and his heart. Throughout his
life, he was a draftsman, painter of high
rises, ski school instructor and manager,
high end audio salesman, trapper,
carpenter, acoustic treatment designer
and business owner. In mid-life, Larry
devoted himself to Restorative Justice,
working as a facilitator and a prison volunteer
with the Alternatives to Violence
Project and the Native Brotherhood.
Larry with his partner Cathie Douglas
co-founded Heartspeak Productions
and produced a number of conceptually
innovative and groundbreaking videos
to promote awareness and understanding
of Restorative and Aboriginal
Justice. Larry’s accomplishments were
widely recognized. He received the Ron
Wiebe Award, a national restorative
justice award presented annually by the
Correctional Service of Canada. The
Simon Fraser University Hummingbird
Award sponsored by the John Howard
Society was especially meaningful to
him.
Larry was a skilled craftsman and found
joy and solace in building a cedar strip
kayak, a couple of paddleboards and a
truck canopy. Larry loved and thoroughly
enjoyed hanging with his feline
best buddies, Little One and Big Bear,
who have also sadly passed recently. His
happiest places were on the lake fishing
in his kayak and navigating forest trails
on his ebike. He never failed to entice
others to join in his adventures. In later
years, Larry was fascinated by the
healing power of sound and music and
spent his days crafting and learning to
play a variety of instruments. In true
Larry spirit, his enthusiasm and the
fruits of his labour were happily shared
with friends and family.
Larry was predeceased by his father, Bill
Moore, and father-in-law Bob Douglas.
Larry leaves behind his love and
best friend Cathie Douglas, his mother
Marilyn Moore, brothers Tony (Linda)
and David (Isabel), mother-in-law Barb
Douglas, sister-in-law Laura Douglas,
the work of Edward Poitras, through the revolt and response of
Mia Feuer, the masks of Miya Turnbull, and the poetic/historical
approach of Susan Andrews Grace.
For Fay and the Nelson Museum, the exploration of medium-centric
exhibitions began in 2018 with LOST THREAD,
which focused on textiles, followed by WORD (2019 – textbased),
THROWN (2021 – clay), and SHUTTER (2022 – photography).
With generous support from the Canada Council
for the Arts, the Nelson Museum has plans to continue the
series into 2026.
Edward Poitras, Mia Feuer, and Susan Andrews Grace will
be attending the opening reception on Friday, April 5, for an
artist talk and panel discussion about the exhibition. The opening
is free and open to the public. For more information about
exhibitions and events at the Nelson Museum, please visit

Bryan MacMillan, nephews Wils, Andre,
Jesse (Lynda), Kevin, Douglas (Laura-Lee),
Conrad and Nick (Candace),
niece Melanie, great nephews Willem
and Owen, great nieces Ashleigh and
Brianne, and great great niece Taylor.
Larry will be remembered by friends
and family on Saturday March 30th at
the Legion Hall in Kaslo from 6-9pm.
The evening promises to be filled with
music, reminiscence, and stories. We
will celebrate not only the man he was
but the enduring thoughts and memories
of those who were fortunate enough
to know him.
