Derek Pho
Forbidden Mechanisms: a Chalk and Temporal Art Show
March 5 - 31, 2026
Just as a phosphorescent light breaks through the darkness, visions can come to us in the night or when we close our eyes. They are temporal–like chalk dust on a board–but can lead to the divine or sublime, so we must be mindful.
Derek Pho is a local visual artist who–when he's not teaching art at The Neil Balkwill or creating art on his own–loves to hang out at home with his family and playing with their cats in mindful harmony. This mindfulness has developed into a daily exercise which has informed and improved the quality of his entire life.
