ABOUT

Born 1971 in Moncton,NB
Presently living and working in the city of Montreal.

The motivation behind my work is a need to find a position. I want to set up the viewer and hold them. I do this by simplifying my imagery, distilling it, and then consider the best way to spark my audience`s interest and self-reflection. This "Position", whether it be physical, social, historical, spiritual etc... seems to manifest itself when I produce moments that bear witness. Realistic representation is my vehicle that best suits my aims, however these are fabricated moments of acute clarity of mind not necessarily clarity of sight. Through open narratives, my aim is to make the viewer feel absolutely present.
