Queen Elizebeth Park
Vancouver, Canada
The installation Recreation includes 10 independent audio channels spread around the old quarry in Queen Elizabeth Park, Vancouver. Each of the audio channels is a separate soundscape composition referencing to the various utilities of the site since colonization. These compositions are generated by Audio Metaphor from excerpts of text related to the moments in time. Below is the artist statement and excepts from the 10 texts.

This is an ongoing project that I initiated in 2003 as part of the Vancouver's 'Art and Environment' initiative. Means of Production explores the possibilities of open source landscape management under the guise of urban microforestry and community gardening.

David Suzuki Legacy Campaign
images
description
This advocacy campaign was designed for the environmental non-profit, the David Suzuki Foundation. 2010 marked the beginning of David Suzuki's 'Legacy Lecture'. A legacy is known as an amount of money or property left or passed onto to someone else. In order to align the campaign with the direction of the organization it focused on how David is passing on his legacy to younger generations so they can preserve his life's work. He is the messenger transmitting his knowledge for everyone else to exploit. David is an iconic symbol of environmental activism but his current goal is to motivate people to create the environmental change he has worked his whole life to foster in the world.

Environmental Design

CONCEPT A spacial environment designed for one person that elicits a specific emotion or mood. DEVELOPMENT In collaboration with two others we mocked up miniature versions of our design before venturing to full scale corrugated cardboard. We also worked on creating an overwhelming emotion of ëconfusioní from both inside and outside the spacial environment.
