UFO Postcard Collage Progress

Pixilated UFO images found online with postcard imagery.

Modern Supernatural

Colour Images from my last shoot at High Park. Working title for this project is "Modern Supernatural." I am thinking about ways to pair these images with some version of my collage works.

Roadmap Cobweb

Almost done.

A Strange Occurrence in the Forest

More Sightings 2 images. Experimenting with the idea of surveillance of a certain place, which has different people visiting it for some mysterious reason, all staring menacingly at the sky.

Studio

Studio, presently.

Proem Image

Just loaded this off my camera. People watching my video installation in the Proem show last September at Special Projects Gallery at York University.

Postcard Collages

I have been working on some new collage pieces involving imagery from postcards. I'm interested in the cheesy, idealized ways that places are represented in postcards and other souvenir items. With these collages, I am trying to exaggerate the cheap "magic" of postcards by conglomerating them into absurd scenes. These are some in progress shots in my studio.

Possible Sightings 2

I have been shooting some images that could potentially be a continuation of my Sightings project. Examining what the images look like when people are staring into the sky, but there is nothing there, as opposed to the previous work, where campy UFOs are in the sky. Not sure about it yet, still think it needs another element added.

Slideluck Vancouver

Work from my Sightings series will be exhibited this weekend in the Slideluck Vancouver Show, which is part of Capture Photo Festival. Please check it out if you're in town!

Latest addition to my Urban Mirages series, the Big Brother-esque city hall building in Toronto. I thought puke yellow was a good colour for the sky?

I forgot to post this on here earlier, but I have to announce that I'm moving to Toronto in the fall to start my MFA in Visual Art at York University! I am looking forward to it so much!

More Holga Photos

More holga photos from my road trip.

Brink Award Nomination

Recently found out I was nominated for the Brink Award! Looking forward to submitting for it.

Holga Panoramas

This is not a serious project, but I recently developed some rolls of film I took with my Holga on my road trip last summer/fall. I like to advance the film halfway, taking 3 shots over 2 squares of film, to make these landscape panoramas.
