Billy has to work at what some binners do without trying: making a mess.[/caption]
Paper and books strewn all over the place. Was it bookish crows? Did some dumpster diver do that? Wait a minute... that's suspiciously clean garbage. Is that a mess or an art installation?

Laurel focuses on turning the mess into art.[/caption]
The gentleman in the hoodie admitted with a smile that it was an art installation. Billy and and his friend Laurel -- both art school students -- had artfully arranging the assemblage so they could photograph it from a third floor apartment.
They were trying to illustrate a dream -- a dream of falling, or perhaps of falling into a dream, they weren't sure -- they were working it out as they went along. Basically they were making art -- similar enough to making a mess as to make no difference.

Hoodies, coffee and yoga pants. Laurel and Billy are definitely Vancouver art school students.[/caption]
Laural and Billy are both attending the Emily Carr University of Art and Design, located on Granville Island. Named after the important B.C. painter and writer Emily Carr, this prestigious post-secondary institution is unique for it's singular focus on the arts. It's also surprisingly sprightly for an octogenarian -- in 2015 it will mark the 90th anniversary of it's founding in 1925. Click the images to enlarge them.
