Statement

I'm an artist from Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. I hold a BFA from the Alberta University of the Arts and an MFA from The Glasgow School of Art, and am based between Scotland and Alberta. Drawing from my experiences living in car-dependent cities, I investigate the role of the pedestrian in environments designed for the vehicle. I explores the impact of distance by undertaking lengthy walks to the edgelands, from retail establishments and motorways, to wastelands and car parks. Combining imagery pulled from these journeys, my work is reflective of intrusions in the landscape, both concrete and transitory.
