Place Holder I: Waterfowl RiceI try to capture my family’s outing in places I’ve called home, but the landmarks move and change and maybe we’re lost? The integrity of my memory is disintegrating even as my body responds to different settings in similar ways.Inspired by dreams where personally-relevant geographies and distinct times are mashed together, the Place Holder series explores my experiences with transnational identity, multimodal social communication, and personal memory.
How to Say (Nocturne, 2015)Documentation from the launch of "How to Say," a site-specific audio piece for three pairs of locations in and around Halifax, Nova Scotia. "How to Say" was supported by Nocturne 2015 as a Beacon Project.In this piece, pairs of friends were recorded speaking a word or phrase of their choice. Each pair faithfully attempted to replicate their partner's voice in each successive turn. Different recordings of these different speaking events were chosen for each site. Each site's track is available for listening as an app for Android devices. (iOS version due out in November 2015.)
(Dis)Assembled (2006/2015)Series of 4 6"x4" light boxes, each containing exactly one second's worth of film from my 2006 film, "Assembled."
The Evolution of Max Teaser (work in progress)The Evolution of Max is an animated short film based on the journal entries of a ten year-old boy with autism, Max Billard. A series of rotoscoped vignettes create a portrait of Max's world, as filtered through his love for evolutionary biology and wildlife documentaries. I gratefully acknowledge the support of the Linda Joy Media Arts Society, Arts Nova Scotia, and the Canada Council for the Arts in the creation of this work.
The World Around (2015)Over 285 people living in Halifax last year volunteered to draw world maps using only a washable marker, some white paper, and their memories of what the world map looks like. I assembled these into a sort of flip book, added a few frames to make transitions, and animated the whole thing. The World Around is a short single-channel piece that combines these animations with music and poetry to think about the tension between imposing order and cultivating progress. Premiers July 16th at 8pm at The Carbon Arc Cinema's 5th Anniversary Screening, Animation with Love 5.
Wander with Care (2015)Installation documentation from this project as it was exhibited at Struts Gallery in Sackville, NB, June 2015.
The Hundred-Eyed Satellite (2014)The Hundred-Eyed Satellite was commissioned as an Independent Project for Halifax's 2014 edition of Nocturne: Art at Night. I hosted several public World Map Drawing Parties and asked participants to attempt to draw a map of the world from memory. After collecting nearly 300 of these hand-drawn maps, I animated them and projected them onto a spherical surface at the Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History.
