Set design

A CAD model and hand-built maquette for the play Green Eyes.

The Syrup Trap was a mostly-online Canadian humour magazine. I was one of the founding editors, working mostly on audio/video projects, a single issue of a print magazine, and whatever other design work needed doing.

Going forwards, moving backwards

An installation at the Waterfront Canada Line station escalators. The piece was a computer-generated maze that had a hidden message that was viewable only through the red-tinted windows from across the street.

CiTR Radio

For a number of years, I worked as the in-house designer for CiTR 101.9 FM radio. I created a number of ad campaigns, posters, and internal documents. One of my favourite projects was the annual FunDrive, where CiTR does a week of call-in donations to support the station. Each year was a different theme. One… Continue reading CiTR Radio

Gross Density Parcel

Group show in Surrey. A homeowner left their land in disarray for a long time and a group of artists were invited to make works using the detritus left around. My piece was a back-projected window made to look like the reflection of a TV’s colours on someone’s curtains when viewed from an alleyway.

Concatenation

A group show where each piece was a digital riff off of the previous. Each artist had just a few days to remix and respond to one before it. My original riff on the left, and the eventual remix on the right.

Please destroy my piece

For a solo installation and exhibition, I hung string across a gallery, placed scissors at the other end, and dared visitors to cut their way through. Some dared, most did not.

Beaty Biodiversity Museum

When I worked at the Beaty Biodiversity Museum, I created a number of displays for their permanent collection and temporary exhibitions. One of the most ambitious was a show that ran along the whole length of their 75+ foot back wall. It was a collaboration with the BC society for Children’s Writers and Illustrators featured… Continue reading Beaty Biodiversity Museum

Don’t worry, I’ll pray for you

For one exhibition/performance, I set up a confessional booth in an office. The people who worked there recorded confessions that were later played on loop on many hanging speakers in a room. Some were written on a piece of paper and torn up.

Light & Music

For one research project, I was hired to do the physical design of a two-part interactive installation series. Working with a team of musicians and one other artist, we created interactive works that sensed body movements and translated into audio and light displays. One installation was a 8-ft long box of speakers sitting across from… Continue reading Light & Music
