A process starting with alginate to plaster is utilized to represent the human form, more specifically: mouths, hands, and limbs. The detailed life like sculptures become body as a sign, suggesting a personal hidden message when further interactions are considered within the final installations.

Aim

These works are an exploration of mark, printmaking and painting, incorporating both conventional, unconventional and self made tools. The process of layering creates an image with a sense of depth, creating an environment for curious interactions between stratums.

Preserving the natural characteristics of the raw materials, these constructed works play with simple shapes using balance and weight to hold them in place, rather than an adhesive. If the piece cannot maintain its composure, it must change.

Poems about personal history reduced to simple words or numeric values are translated into abstract wooden sculptures.

Each poem is systemati­

cally interpreted for its mathematical relationship to shape, size, and repetition. The weight of the past is implied and cannot be changed.Such is the importance of this process.

Experimentation in a variety of processes such as painting, video, sculpture, drawing, and silkscreen embody the interests. Different (scattered) ideas and sources of inspirations, from contrasts in nature to dark themes, come randomly in the forms of style and imagery.

Renderings of organic shapes created through blowing watercolour onto paper create effects that inspire new images for unprimed canvas acrylic paintings.

Automatic drawings of reoccurring lines and circles delicately echo the natural forms. A visual space that is both phsychological in feeling and natural in appearance unites a subject of intrigue.

Narrative references are constructed through the close doubling of situation and subject with digital imagery. An intimate subjectification of public and private spaces is photo documented to bring potential narratives between pop songs and real life.

These acrylic paintings are done with strongly restricted colour schemes. Hands are depicted in a monochromatic black background. A single colour is added to differentiate one hand opposed to another.

Odd gestures are rendered to reveal a certain mystery.

Family members and friends photographed within their everyday environment are displaced/removed from this environment and placed against a background of brightly coloured stripes in this series of acrylic paintings. Intense colour is part of the contrast between flat hard-edge patterns of the background and detailed renderings of the figure.

These expressionist self-portrait paintings are based on images created on a scanner.

Distorted faces appear within dark voids contrasted amongst glistening textures and shards of glass. These illusive dramas stimulate disturbing allusions.

Images of family members are transferred manually from digital photographs to canvas without mechanical projection assistance. Isolating the figures allows quirks of human behaviour to be enhanced. A connection to family provides an empathetic understanding of the subject and their vulnerabilities.

The pictorial depth of these paintings echo Renaissance glazing techniques. They depict a contemporary subject of waste and dissatisfac­

tion, Methodical layering, marks, and light effects, provide icons of longing and urgency steeped in atmosphere. The small scale of the works contrast their spiritual enormity, heaping with dark subconscious tension.

Scenes from a personal domain quietly become the subject for intimate drawings, watercolours, and etchings. Reductive drawn forms and ideas from photographs are subtly evoked in mysterious images.

Through the graceful and innocent use of brightly coloured textiles and yarn, many meanings are conveyed; from viciousness, corruption, and inhumanity of mankind, to childhood memories. The juxtaposition of subject and materials endeavours to convey their own unique range of feelings.

Cutting fabric, sewing, stuffing, tearing, tying, knotting, and embroidering focus on constructive processes to convey these ideas.

Each work captures the essence of a song and makes it a visual pattern.

Rough pencil sketches marking time to the songs evolve into systematic water colour renderings of individual sounds which in turn are transcribed to oil on canvas in rhythmic patterns of repeating colour and form.

This work is about the human body and its kinetic nature. The puppets made out of a variety of materials, exaggerate the identities of both popular icons and personal friends and associates. Awkward craftsmanship enhances the light-hearted, quirky, playful and make-believe fantasy world. The personalities in the created environments are tripping over themselves.

Discarded, everyday objects and materials are transformed into wearable sculptures.

Designed for, and about, the female body, these pieces work as jewellery to articulate ideas about decoration in this era of recycling.

Objects from everyday life are chosen as subject and matrix for a series of prints and multiples. Canadian, foreign and antique coins are used to metaphorically illustrate cultural, political, and historical issues.

The title of each work furthers the reading of the concept presented.

Images are created with the use of a spotlight on water surfaces. layering oil paint in thick, painterly brushstrokes gives the paintings depth and stresses the sensation of light protruding through the dark, giving the nocturnal subjects an eerie, yet peaceful feeling.
