Immersed in reclaimed European architecture of the past, I focus my artistic practice on photography of abandoned or partially run-down structures before they disappear. Since 2000, my work has focused on a photo-documentary examination of British Columbia’s traditional mining, fishing and forestry industries. The issues of how quickly buildings, closed for economic reasons, disappear along with the elements of culture they encompass are addressed.

In many works, photographs are integrated with ambient sounds, video or interviews to explicitly convey the layers of human experience impacted by industrial and urban changes. My work raises questions of progress, architectural preservation, housing and culture.

I have also developed a photographic abstraction style. In industrial sites, I come across shapes, lines and layers which I study closely, producing abstracted images, sometimes involving optical effects.

I show my work in public art galleries, artist centers and museums.
