| Introduction | I am born of Acadian heritage and make art in Vancouver these days. My work often speaks to themes of dislocation, hybridization, the cycles of life and adaptation. The materials I compose with in 3D are varied and can include natural as well as human-made. My drawings combine charcoal, graphite, oil sticks and decoupage. I find inspiration in many things but mostly through natural science, debris, and mythology, the gesture of dancers, graphs, politics and dreams. I draw to get back to basics, to the initial mark making process with carbon, the fundamental molecule of all life. I also enjoy manipulating materials and discovering what each material has to say about this place we share. |
