BY LAND, BY SEA is a sprawling meta-project comprised of By Rail and By Sea.
By Rail surveys the rail infrastructure of Canada and the United States. I'm grateful to the the Canada Council for supporting this project.
By Sea looks at the coastline perimeter of Anglo-America; it received assistance from the Canadian Forces Civilian Artist Program.
At Leisure is an ongoing study of recreational spaces that resemble job sites or evoke ennui.
Photo Studies
Pastoral is a nascent study of animals in landscapes. I'm quite fond of them.
Anonymous Earthworks depicts incidental land art. Yes, it weds the Bechers' "Anonymous Sculptures" to the Robert Smithson term.
Marseille is a wonderful place to spend an April. I'm grateful to Alexa Brunet for being an excellent host.
Winterthur Switzerland unfolds comfortably from neighbourhood to orchard to farm to factory and back. I was artist-in-residence at Villa Strauli there .
Rust Belt looks at how the built-environment of North America's industrial golden age is inhabiting the present.
Beijing is charming and vile and exotic and also rather ordinary. The generosity of Michiel Van Kuyen allowed me to visit.
London ON is The Forest City. It's between Toronto and Detroit on the banks of a Thames River.
Red Lake is a gold mining town in northwestern Ontario. It is also The Norseman Capital of the World.
Halifax has one of five second largest harbours in the world.
Vancouver began as a study of an "empty" city but evolved into a simple place portrait.
Bridgeworks depicts different architectureal eras referenced in the concrete understructures of Vancouver's bridges.
Interiors aren't something I shoot often, but I like these images I made for Toronto Life.
