Over Time

This body of work thoughtfully considers the deep desire to preserve something from which an experience emerges, in order to maintain the postarity—the lasting presence—of the moment. It is ultimately impossible to keep time, as it is an elusive and ever-shifting entity; even memory, our most intimate connection to the past, becomes unreliable and fragmented. Stones collected from shorelines serve as poignant symbols of this human condition—a yearning to hold onto moments not meant to be confined within such static spaces. Attempting to hold fleeting moments within a container, whether it be a frame, a box, or any physical vessel, becomes an awkward and imperfect means of preservation, reminding us of the transient nature of experience itself.

Shadowed Rocks

Mark making in the careful and deliberate formation of shapes and shadows that evoke the very essence of water and rock, or perhaps suggest something more celestial and ethereal, these images transform into abstracted spaces. These dark lithographic prints creates a sense of timelessness and brings into question the reality of this space. Abstraction of information lends to the notion of familiarity while simultaneously being immersed in something new. They hold and reveal subtle, almost imperceptible movements that gently emulate the rhythms and fluidity of life itself.

Considered Keeping

An installation showcasing these prints as a cohesive collection thoughtfully examines our innate desire to preserve treasured mementos from our travels, allowing us to carry a tangible piece of those meaningful experiences with us.

Kept Memories

These small prints capture remembered moments from shoreline visits. Details fade, but the essence of the space still remains as little capsules of cherished time.

Boxed In

Loose pebbles, carefully collected from the shoreline of Lake Leberge, gently rattle around in the box next to a print that depicts an abstracted space, subtly representing the shoreline itself. Memory is inherently fallible, and all that endures is a faint, fragile sense of what once was, lingering in the quiet spaces between past and present.

Kept Within

Images of stones that lay encased in silt along the tranquil shores of the Athabasca River are presented in heavy black frames, amplifying the concept of objects carefully collected and preserved. These framed stones evoke a sense of timelessness and invite contemplation of the delicate relationship between nature and memory.
