  • Wish You Were Here

    I unexpectedly lost my father shortly after reconnecting with him in person following years of separation due to COVID-19.

Initially, I attributed them to my…

  • Collaboration

    Toronto artist Mary Porter and I have been working on joint projects since 2012. Our shared interests in art history and collage were the starting point, and the nature of our long-distance collaboration lent itself to web-based work that explores the shared language and imagery of the internet as organized by Google. A Conversation is a digital correspondence project…

  • Piggies

    We collect memories throughout our lifetimes, only to start losing them in the end. I began working with my grandmother’s carefully curated collection of ceramic pigs and piggy banks when she was first diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
