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....

05/26/11 → wolf at the door

Wolves are complicated. They are terrifying. Maligned. Harbingers from some ancient place. I'm good with wolves - one came to me in a dream when I was in a dark place. That's not the case for everyone though. I keep...

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...

and so it continues...

02/ 1/11 → it has began

An out take from my new series "We keep it all in." Don't touch that dial!...

04/ 6/09 → take two

Seems I'm finally coming out of my incubated period as Martha Wainwright would say and getting back to work screen testing potentials for a new series. At the risk of giving too much away, expect this guy to make an...

03/18/09 → from the vault

I was searching through my files for some old family photos I'd scanned a while back and came across this image from a few years ago. While I don't even recall scanning it in the first place, looking at it...

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...

10/24/08 → interiors, take one

A test shot straight from the studio. Stay tuned . . ....

10/17/08 → gone to the blogs

Well I've done it. I've started a blog or as I prefer to call it, a favourite things compendium. Check it out here...

08/ 9/08 → the plot thickens

According to Tom Robbins, the inertia of objects is deceptive and the inanimate world appears static to us humans on account of our neuro-muscular chauvinism. I can't help feeling he's on to something....

07/25/08 → for the kiddies

i'm working on a new serio-drama showcasing my softer side....

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...

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...

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...

12/29/07 → SAD light

I got a SAD light for Christmas. Notice a difference?...

10/12/07 → Ode to Rene

My web guy, Christopher, (who's great by the way - check out his link on the bottom of the page) reminded me that I've been neglecting to make full use of this handy dandy news blog feature. So from now...

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...

03/12/07 → Explorations in Ennui

It's amazing what the world reveals when you simply sit and stare. See more on screen two of my work page....

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...
