The past little while has been quite busy and exciting, as the vernissage for FALLEN was last night at La Petite Mort.
I received quite a bit of press for the series, including an article in the Ottawa Citizen, online and in print, as well as an article from Ottawa Magazine’s Artful Blogger.
The series will be on view at La Petite Mort until next Thursday, May 2, but I’m very pleased to announce that the series is now available on my website as well!

There is SO much going on this week in Ottawa, it’s hard to know where to begin!
Northern Scene kicks off tonight at the NAC and continues until the end of next weekend. I’ve written up what I’m looking forward to in theatre, music, visual arts, and film but I limited myself…
A wonderful shout-out from the CUAG Tumblr! Thank you, Fiona!
Another sneak peek of one of my images from FALLEN. This show opens next Friday, April 26th, and will be on view at La Petite Mort Gallery until May 2nd.
Hope to see you at the opening next Friday, between 7-10! Check out the Facebook event here.
"A photograph is just a set of graphics. And I say, for the moment, forget about content, forget about subject matter, we’re just going to talk about photography in a graphic sense. Because when you boil it down, it’s a set of graphics on a piece of paper, or projected on a wall or on a computer screen, whatever. It’s not the world; it’s an abstraction of the world. But people don’t learn that. They think subject matter, subject matter, subject matter, and they never understand."

Working on scans for my newest series, FALLEN!
