A print project exploring the political issue of proportional representation and the idea of personal involvement in the democratic process. Appropriating Barbara Krueger's poster style with a manipulated found image of protesters holding blank pickets. There are rip-off tabs with the current Canadian prime minister, Stephen Harper and his office's phone number. Again, playing with the idea of a simpler and more direct access to the democratic decision making process.

Exploring ideas of space, public space and digital space. Spaces that people use for social purposes. With the popularity of the community website MySpace.com and similar projects, versus public "real" spaces, and a person's ability to instantly add "friends"; and the common use of "thanks for the add" or similar phrases that affirm acceptance of "friendship" requests.

I am exploring notions of the sublime by observing all the 'appliance' lights that are left on after I turn off the 'main' lights of my house. I catalgue the passage of time and the ambient silence transforming the transitory and temporal into a medium that captures only a constant.

An abstract paintings series displayed at SunLife Financial in Kitchener Ontario between August 6 and 26.
Discourse is:
Attempting to bring forward an open discourse on what the beautiful is, I create paintings that try to evoke the viewers’ subjective interpretation through their simplicity in color palette and absence of figurative representation. I created these chaotic “flows” of paint by alternating between conscious and subconscious states of mind. As a whole, my paintings are as much improvised as they are designed. Usually I start with a very loose idea of the layout, and then I let my hand drag paint freely over the canvas, creating the chaotic “backbone” of organic forms. Towards the conclusion of the painting, I manipulate and alter the chaos into it’s final composition; this gives me both a feeling of control and the humbling experience to relive life in a sense that acknowledges the chaotic primordial matter that came to be before me, and nature and civilization.
