Note:

Cliff Eyland was a painter, writer and a curator. He studied at Holland College, Mount Allison University, and the Nova Scotia Collage of Art and Design.

Beginning in 1981, he has made paintings, drawings, and notes in an index card 3”x5” (7.6x12.7 cm) format. Since 2005 he has received numerous commissions for major public art installations in libraries across Canada: The Winnipeg Millennium Library, Meadows Library in Edmonton, Halifax Central Library, and the Moose Jaw Museum and Art Gallery and Moose Jaw Public Library.

A retrospective of his work entitled “Cliff Eyland: Library of Babel” will be mounted at the Winnipeg Art Gallery in 2021. He collaborated on a book project called "Status Update" with fellow writer George Toles, published by At Bay Press, Winnipeg in 2021. This project will appear in the upcoming issue of Border Crossings.
