I have experienced a seemingly insurmountable amount of loss in my life and my photographs allow me to try and deal with it in the ways I know best: humor, beauty, and the (almost) absurd. Photography is the best vehicle through which I can explore my ideas and feelings on loss as well as identity and memory.
I am an underfunded university student and thus bargain, borrow, barter, and haggle my way into access to an unthinkable assortment of photography equipment and studios. Without all the good people who give into my pleading and poking I would still be using disposable cameras from the drugstore.
I come from a Fine Arts painting background and find the colour control that the darkroom allows both natural and sublime.
When I do work digitally with my film please know that I have access to either a new Imacon scanner which I've had to sell my soul to my university to use, or a flatbed scanner I found in the garbage.
I live, work, and go to university in Montreal, Canada. I grew up on, and often miss, Vancouver Island.
