The art for this pedestrian trail plaza refers to the ways urban animals adapt to their environment. The beavers living adjacent to the site can be perceived as the designers and builders of this site-specific work. The intent of the work is to portray the convergence between nature, local housing and industry. The outer edges of the structure closely resemble the rooflines of the nearby ranchers in the Nordel neighborhood.

Given a hotel room, abstracted as a resting place, and tempered by ideas of art history, appropriation, authenticity and value, interactions and objects that create the installation Two Versions of Inquietude: After Sonia Delanauy. The research started with Sonia Delanauy’s room layouts and fashion designs that utilized her graphic sensibility in public and private spaces. Opposite walls are covered with painted non- repeating harlequin patterns. Each wall has a...
When the ultrasonic proximaity sensors are triggered the programmed servomotors activate selected convex surveillance mirrors that turn and twitch in various direction (sometimes towards the viewer, sometimes away). In the meantime, a looped video of greatly enlarged microscopic primordial forms is projected from underneath the cart.
The installation consisted of two large breathing air bags that mirrored the body's capacity to exist within a space with other bodies. The two pneumatic reciprocating bags inflated and deflated, while a ceiling fan came on at timed intervals and blew on the bags, creating a looming sense of suspension between the two states and the viewers who encountered the work from inside the gallery and after hours outside the gallery.
"Script Inside Outside" 2006, presents a LED digital colour lighting system with theatrical graphic spotlights for images and text which explore the relationship between information and meaning in the context of The Gateway Theatre, a performing arts cultural centre in Richmond BC. This image is a still sequence of a light show relating to a play about gender projected onto the fly tower of the theatre.
This site specific installation consisted of 1 false wall (pink, resembling the lobe of a lung) 4 inflatable drawings, 2 air bags and 3 large constructions: some inflatables were attached inside the ceiling panels, four in corners, all rhythmically breathing at different rates. The center construction had a magnetized connection that "popped" on and off on the back wing at various intervals, sequenced in with the breathing mechanism.
This installation included a “covered wagon” structure with an inflated 20' length airbag. The dryer vent ducting on the floor moved and writhed in tandem with moving truck mirrors installed near the ceiling.
The installation's starting point was an archival photo of a bunker in a Vancouver backyard. The fabric encased bellows has twenty cement pillows covered in organza placed around it. On top, shuttlecocks roll and disperse with the breathing dryer vent ducting. On the end of the ducting in the center of the spiral is convex surveillance mirror that rises up and down.
