I’m very excited to finally announce my newest series, FALLEN, and the associated week-long show at La Petite Mort Gallery. 

This series is an exploration into one of the most influential texts in modern history. This series consists of diptychs of the women of the Bible and the corresponding passage that depicts their experience. How does the depiction of women in this influential text affect our society and its views of women? 

The show will run between April 26 - May 2, and the vernissage will take place on April 26th, between 7-10 pm, at La Petite Mort Gallery at 306 Cumberland st.

The lovely folks at Go Home Print included my piece “I Don’t Think I’ve Learned” in the second issue, for which the theme is We’re All Adults Here. 

My copy of the magazine arrived in the mail last week - here’s my two pages! I’m super pleased to have it; there’s fantastic work on every page.

For anyone who’s interested, you can pick up a copy at your local retailer, or you can buy it at Go Home’s online shop.

Blake also just released a beautiful video for his new single Retrograde, directed by Martin de Thurah, which can be viewed here.

I’m very excited to announce that a piece I created for Ottawa’s Festival X this past September has been chosen to be a part of Go Home Magazine’s 2nd issue, for which the theme is We’re All Adults Here. This diptych is entitled I don’t think I’ve learned and will be published in the magazine along with some accompanying writing.

Looking forward to seeing this work in print!

Once every two years, the Ottawa photography community celebrates: Festival X 2012 is our chance to look at, talk about, admire & engage with photographic art. 

I am very excited to announce that I will be a part of three shows during Festival X, between September 20th and 30th! 

These shows will take place at Enriched Bread Artists (EBA at Festival X), Patrick Gordon Framing (TEASE), and Saint Brigid’s Centre for the Arts (Stills in Motion). The latter will take place only on September 22nd, as a part of Nuit Blanche Ottawa, and the image above is a still from my video in that show. All of the others will have vernissages on September 21st, with varying times; check the Festival website for more details.

Hope to see lots of people out during the festival! See you there!!

I’m taking a course on the Van Gogh exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada right now, so expect to see a lot of 19th century paintings on my blog in the next little while. :)
