I am a graduate of the Ontario College of Art, majoring n drawing and painting and etching, with further studies in fibre, clay and photography resulting in mixed media gallery installations.
My work deals with time as the vehicle of change and transformation visible in landscape and urban overviews. I use photography and photo – collage as part of these mixed media and porcelain mosaic constructions, contrasting human and natural habitats. Convex and concave mirrors, lenses and magnifying glasses draw the viewer into the pieces.
The porcelain mosaics are imprinted with numbers, found objects, letters and timepieces to suggest the fossil remains of traces left behind in the process of change, fracture and transformation.
I use multiples and repetition of smaller works to create the elements of a larger installation.
