TRAIL MIX: KINGFISHER (2017)
This installation was created as part of a project called Trail Mix, wherein artists were partnered with trail guides and photographers. The resulting trios were assigned a specific hiking trail to explore, with artists to making work in response to their trail. We were assigned the Kingfisher region of the Shuswap River. The installation consisted of a drawing, a large-scale map painted directly onto the wall and photos and found objects attached to the map, with a network of jute cord running between the objects.

TENT SCREEN (2016)
Tent camping is one of the most direct ways to experience Canadian wilderness and has particular qualities, the essence of which I have tried to capture in Tent screen. The tent is a soft and filmy boundary between the camper and their surroundings, allowing in sound, light, and shadow. The camper is in between—outside but not outside, entirely in the landscape while simultaneously being in suspension. There is also what I call “soft time”—lying in the tent in the morning, having woken but not yet up—an intermediate state. It was at these times that I collected the video for Tent screen.

INTRODUCED SPECIES (2008)
These two ‘Starlings’ pieces are part of a larger body of works collectively titled Introduced Species. The work explores the folly of intentionally introducing species into foreign regions without proper research or thought for the potential impact.

SOCKEYE MIRROR (2005)
Interactive sculpture with stainless steel parts that sway when touched, suggesting the shimmer of a moving fish in the water. In this case it is as if one was viewing it from the interior of the salmon. Simultaneously, a fragmented image of the viewer is reflected back to them.

STIRRING (2005)
Interactive piece that implies that with the cranking of the fan, one would be able to see the moving air stir the gauzy fabric tunnel.
