Mixed Media / Assemblage / Sculpture

 

 

                              After a nomadic childhood I am now a long time resident of Vancouver.  Filling my pockets and head with gleaned

                              "bits" has been a constant throughout my life.   My work slows the experience of looking and ask the viewer to

                              reconsider the familiar.

 

                              Using a variety of materials and formats I investigate the fragmentary nature of perception and our relationship 

                              with the ordinary things that surround us.   The disparate ways that materials evoke memory and knowledge and

                              reflect our nuanced cultural codes underpin my work.   I skew the familiar to suggest alternative narratives and

                              materials.

 

                              I received my BFA from Emily Carr University and now exhibit regularly.   I have also participated in a variety of  

                             collaborative and community art projects.   My work is  found in both private and public collections.
