These pieces are created to invent an imaginary past, a history of non-existent memories. They are ghosts, phantom memories and phantom dreams. The layered and translucent nature of this work explores the parallel universe we will never traverse. These are the decisions and actions that we did not make but could have. They are the remnants of lives we might have lived. They are images as though captured in a long forgotten album. Mesmerized, we take ourselves back to this place as though we had been there grasping for how this scene has made us who we are.
I acknowledge with gratitude and respect that I live and work on the traditional unceded territory of the Anishnaabeg Algonquin nation. I recognize their ancestors as the original people of this area, and am grateful for their knowledge and guidance.
