Lost Souls Emerge from the Darkness
Assemblages of night photographs of old barns that I shot in Bancroft, Ontario, found photographs of people taken in the 1930s, and found objects (old coins, vintage buttons, stones, dried flowers, etc.) that create new narrative contexts for the people whose likenesses had been uprooted from their own histories.
Can't live with 'em?
Aerial photographs of Toronto's modern-day battlefields.
