I am a photographer, creative producer, writer, and non-profit worker based in Toronto, Canada.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

The guiding principle of my practice is to create and cultivate art and life that sees and shares alternative perspectives on the world; perspectives often overlooked due to their marginality, smallness, hiddenness.
For me photography is the art of noticing. Focusing on and sharing these pictures tells a story about why I love this medium: it keeps one present, seeing, seeking, and in a constant state of awe, wonder, and what-will-I-experience-next.
Photography is also an exercise in connectivity, which also animates all other areas of my practice. It is a way to explore the connections between people and community, between the built and natural environments, and between object and subject, and perception and reality.

This is from a series of pictures taken on the island of La Gomera in the Canary Islands. It shows the rich starkness of the architecture against the backdrop of a perfect blue sky.
