art based work

I am fascinated about how people, the media, visual artists and scholars engage with and interpret issues of citizenship, race, racism, and cultural identity in Canada. My work is a personal reaction to this.

My work incorporates textiles, older processes, street art and multimedia elements. Fusing the digital with the tactile has always fascinated me.

Migrant Narratives: Scan & print

This is a video of my process for scanning and printing large format negatives. Within the video I compare a Howtek Scan Master 4500 drum scanner to an Epson V750 scanner. I use SilverFast scanning software and output the files to an Epson 9900 printer and an HP 110 Latex printer producing two prints, a 44'x54" and a 88"x108" respectively.

Street Portraits: Tagging

Fascinated by Street Art I decided to try it myself. I like the idea of using images of people from my Street Portrait series perhaps, reposting them back into the neighbourhoods​ I am photographing in. Regardless here is my first attempt of putting a piece up and with some homemade wheat paste. ​
