After The Witch Of Malleghem, 2021
This augmented-reality pop-up print remediates The Witch of Malleghem, a 1559 image by Pieter Brueghel the Elder depicting a witch and her assistants removing “stones of madness” from villagers’ heads. Through dramatic re-enactments and re-animations of the figures in this work, we reflect on the visual rhetoric used to de-legitimize healing practices outside of the dominant patriarchal religious/medical establishment in Europe during the period.

Resonators, 2019

Resonators is an augmented reality series exhibited at the Judith & Norman Alix Gallery throughout October 2019 - January 2020. Each app looks to the work of an innovator in the field of science who were overlooked for their significant contributions, or pursued their research under conditions of oppression and duress.

The Perennials Series, 2019

A series of Augmented Reality Apps that respond to the botanically-themed works selected from the permanent collection of the gallery.

Turret, 2019

A solo exhibition featuring augmented reality experiences and animations at R.I.C.A., Renann Isaacs Contemporary Art in Guelph, Ontario (August 2019). Playfully drawing upon the impossible geometries and perspectives of Escher, as well as the 1941 short science fiction story “-And They Build a Crooked House-” by Robert A. Heinlein, an animated figure moves within a frozen moment in time, navigating a forever now.

Triodetic, 2016

Shifting the geometry of the Cinesphere's Triodetic Dome, alternate uses for the iconic structure are imagined. Three animated vignettes position the Cinesphere in fantastical realms, where the edifice itself becomes mutable in form, purpose, and potential. 

Reception, 2015

Slowly oscillating between the gestures of offering and receiving, the hands are outstretched in a multi-tiered array, simulating the shape of the Grand Fir.

Arms Reach, 2015

A video installation depicting a haptic labyrinth, specifically created for a custom configuration, displayed on Christie Digital MicroTiles. Pain, tactility, and thermoception are guides in this maze that can only be solved through touch, scored by musician Bry Webb.

Weighting Light, 2015

A stereoscopic projection of a figure that seemingly carries the weight of its own existence above its shoulders. Inspired in part by the art nouveau designer François-Rupert Carabin’s motif of women providing structural support in decorative furnishings, Weighting Light creates the illusion of the video’s content supporting the actual weight of the emitting technology.

Abridged, 2015

A site-specific sculpture installation that simultaneously collapses and expands two distinct locations within a theatre centre, playing with scale, public and private, performer and audience in an infinite regress.

Dredging a Wake, 2014

A solo exhibition at the Art Gallery of Hamilton entitled Dredging a Wake, which also drew upon invisible forces to contemplate the transmission and storage of information in both aging and burgeoning technologies. The exhibition was comprised of three large-scale installations, Doldrums, Precipice, and Doline.

Thaumatrope, 2008

Created in collaboration with Christy Langer. Thaumatrope is a kinetic sculpture activated by the viewer's proximity. A two-sided embossed card of a bird spins, revealing both the innards and skeleton as well as the plumage of the bird in a single, fleeting third image.
