Water Simulations
Video Installation, Three channel video, 00.05:00 (loop), 2016
This work was created during my residency at the NSCAD Studio Community Residence in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia (Sep 2016 - August 2017). Immersed in a place shaped by sailing, boatbuilding, and maritime life, I became absorbed by the water - spending hours observing and documenting its rhythms and shifting surface.
Inspired by Yoko Ono’s Sky TV, which transposes the act of cloud gazing onto a screen in the gallery through a live feed of the sky, this piece reflects on the practice of “water-gazing.” Here, however, the experience is reimagined as a simulation, composed of three moving photographs of the bay.
The accompanying soundscape (accessible via icon below) layers whistles, hums, breath, and the rustle of fabric to echo the wind moving across the sea—a murmuring simulation of water and air within the stillness of the gallery.
Colour Series
Three photographic series, thirty-six 35mm photographs, 2017
This series reflects on how colour seeps into language and emotion. Each work takes on a colloquial expression of and translates it into a series of images. Rosy Retrospection revisits the places I cried through a rose-tinted spectacle. Yellow-Bellied paints symbols of my fears directly onto my belly. Feeling Blue explores what it means to feel, to touch, or to simply observe blue. Together, these works reveal how pigment, metaphor, and experience entwine in shaping my memory and perception of colour.
