"Microcosm" at Patrick Mikhail Gallery, Ottawa

Microcosm:

As we enter a new age of reason where science and technology gain greater importance there appears to be a revival of inquiry into traditional spirituality. We have begun to question our place in the universe and how it relates to the belief systems we have put so much faith into. Faced with this dichotomy, how do we deal with this issue that human beings are a perfect reflection of their creator? Do we still exist as a perfect microcosm of the universe or has this changed?

Sam & Ralph, a lingering question about employment

In "Don't Give Up The Sheep", unlike all of the other Sam& Ralph episodes in which he is employed by the same company as Ralph(they punch into the same clock), Sam seems to be independently contracted by a third party, a predator temping agency or is self-employed as a coyote.
It is safe to assume then that between 1942 and 1943, whatever company Ralph worked for bought out Sam, or his employer or hired him on as full time labour.
