One long day
University of Ottawa, 2014-2015
A picture can be taken apart and reduced to all of its pieces, parts and presences.
It remains a picture if it can be looked at for any length of time. It’s a good picture if it prompts one look, and then another.

Incident/Accident
22:39 minute HD video made from still photographs, 2014
I painted a wall and made some frames from wood scraps. I made them touch and took photographs until the battery ran out. The result is a painting made from light and leftovers.
This video was made to be projected, ideally as big as the room will allow.
