I started off as a print designer, somehow detoured into robotics, and am now studying privacy and trust. Here are some of my projects along the way.

  • 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 a children’s reading area and many display cases full of the Beaty’s permanent collection of interesting animals.

    Every ten feet or so, a large wall-hanging accompanied a themed case. Works by Canadian writers and illustrators were hung along the way, interspersed with collection pieces and write-ups.

    There were so many individual pieces in the show that we had to develop a system for automatically populating didactic panels.

    It was fascinating to combine narratives of the featured writers with the Beaty’s extensive collection of animals and plants.
