This work, an exploration of spaces in flux, was produced during an Emerging Artist Residency at the Society of Northern Alberta Print-Artists (SNAP) and is grounded in photo documentation of SNAP’s neighbourhood infrastructure.
I am interested in the unexpected and eerie moments where the impact of unsustainable resource extraction is echoed in our infrastructure and its maintenance. Images of public infrastructure - systems that suggest reliance on resource extraction - are fragmented and reassembled into print installations to express a growing concern for the consequences of unfettered consumption. These pieces present printed imitations of select spaces and objects: temporary signage, construction pylons, a nearby vacant lot - the combination of which into collaged installations suggests general unease while acknowledging the clarity found in these mundane, often unnoticed moments.
