12/ 9/11 → shout out from Lenscratch

Thanks Aline Smithson, creator of Lenscratch for featuring untitled #10 in a recent post. An alternate take on that image. I still can't decide which version will make the final exhibition cut....

06/ 8/11 → brain, child

Here's a sneak peek at the Summer 2011 issue of Brain, Child Magazine, cover by yours truly. Look for it at a news stand near you any day now....

04/20/11 → CONTACT

Three pieces from "we keep it all in" will be showing at the Launch Projects Gallery's Transplanted exhibit in conjunction with the CONTACT photography festival. Billed as the largest photography festival anywhere, CONTACT exhibitions are hosted by venues throughout Toronto...

03/12/11 → center forward

I'm getting ready to send untitled #4 down to the Center for Fine Art Photography in Colorado for the Center Forward exhibition running May 6 - June 11. Think it's going to be a really dynamic show. If you're in...

02/ 9/09 → chicken in a can comes down

Since all good things must eventually come to an end, Taking Stock came down from the Yukon Art Centre Community Gallery yesterday. I had a lot of fun putting this one together. The overall effect of the canvas printing and...

01/ 9/09 → Taking Stock

Taking Stock is conceived as an unconventional portrait series that pays homage to one of my favourite Whitehorse institutions. More than a just a corner store, Riverside Grocery is a lone holdout of independence and diversity in an encroaching tide...

09/26/08 → now for something completely different

I recently had the opportunity to shoot another cover for North of Ordinary's Fall issue - in front of Sam McGee's cabin no less. Amoree was a trooper!...

07/ 8/08 → lucky thirteen

thirteen - an exhibition of new acquisitions from the Yukon permanent art collection - opens Friday. If you're in the Whitehorse area in the next week, run don't walk to check it out - not just because yours truly and...

06/ 9/08 → Taking Stock

I've been working on a new series called Taking Stock, celebrating Riverside Grocery and all the little corner stores like it that stand in stalwart opposition to the big box stores and chains that are slowly turning home towns across...

06/ 6/08 → Every girl goes through a photography phase

Being the creatures we are, one of the first questions asked of a new acquaintance is "So, what do you do?" When you live in the Yukon and answer that question with "I'm a photographer", the rest of the conversation...

05/17/08 → roots

For years I've been haunted by that line from Woody Allen's Another Woman (which along with Interiors is one of my absolute favourite of all his films). "Is a memory something you have or something you've lost?" It's a question...

03/10/08 → no place like home

In a complete 180 from my usual work, I took a time-out from shooting barbies and big box stores last spring to do a freelance piece for North of Ordinary magazine celebrating life in the north. It profiles 4...

03/ 8/08 → another roadside attraction

My fellow struggling artists out there will understand the sinking feeling I get when I trudge up to the mailbox and find a manila envelope addressed to me in my own hand. Another politely worded rejection expressing regret that "due...

02/20/08 → 91 Teslin

No exploration of Whitehorse could possibly be complete without a visit to 91 Teslin, the house where my Mom has kept the home fires burning for my sibs and I since the 1970's. Thinking of it conjures up a line...

02/ 5/08 → the trouble with normal . . .

When I first set out on "the whitehorse project" in the winter of 2005, I had in mind to do a series documenting the fast-encroaching hallmarks of globalization on the town - my contact sheets are full of gleefully hideous...

01/23/08 → Coming attractions: Nice place to visit

Starting February 1st at Arts Underground Gallery, I'll be debuting my new series "nice place to visit" - an exploration of my complicated relationship with my home town of Whitehorse, Yukon. Artist Statement: I moved here in 1975 just in...

06/ 1/07 → welcome to whitehorse

“Landscape as a genre is involved with making visible the distances we must maintain between ourselves in order that we may recognize each other for what, under constantly varying conditions, we appear to be. It is only at a certain...

02/ 8/07 → Jen in Geez

Last fall I had the good fortune to work with the intelligent and provocative folks at Geez Magazine, a new publication out of Winnipeg co-founded by a former Adbusters editor. Geez bills itself as a "bustling spot for the over-churched,...

02/ 8/07 → London Calling

Four pieces from my series "Plastic" are currently on display as part of a group show in London – Ontario, that is. Mass Culture and Society: Exhibit 2A is a photo-based exhibition exploring the "cross-influence and blurred boundaries between photography...
