Né à Winnipeg, 1968
Mon travail s’oriente principalement autour de l’étude et l’exploration du silence; des moments paisibles au crépuscule et à l’aube, où la terre semble être en suspend pendant un instant, entre une émergence et une fuite continuelle de la pénombre. Je suis aux aguets des instants éphémères qui lorsque l’espace, la lumière et la texture s’harmonisent offrent une quiétude. Interposés entre le naturel et le domestique, ces paysages photographiés se retrouvent habituellement à la périphérie des stationnements, des autoroutes, des parcs urbains et des plages publiques.Quotidiennement, ces lieux se forment et se déforment de leur fonction et, une fois l’activité cessée, je suis attiré par l’apesanteur qui persiste.Ces espaces sont chargés d’un sens d’anticipation séduisant; soulevant les questions de quoi s’agissait-il et de quoi s’agira-t-il.
Le thème de l’exclusion est central dans ces images : ce qui a été oublié et laissé hors du cadre photographique et temporel. Ces lieux sont intentionnellement vides et évacués, dénués de présences humaines tout en étant légèrement affectées par celle-ci. Ces lieux sont, selon moi, des métaphores des antagonismes dont nous faisons face à tous les jours.J’ai grandi dans les prairies canadiennes et l’horizon a fait parti de mon enfance et de mon être. Cette démarcation entre le ciel et la terre était cramponnée par les à-pics, percée par les poteaux de téléphone et longée par les trains.Tout semble être en orbite autour de cette arête.
Dans cette série de photographies, l’horizon adopte la même fonction organisationnelle, sa présence et son emplacement à l’intérieur du cadre devient un moteur graphique qui fixe le spectateur d’une image à l’autre peu importe son ordre. L’horizon,ou la référence, assemble des panoramas disjointes de souvenirs ambigus en un seul et unique paysage. Chaque image devient une parcelle d’une collection, une série d’objets qui documentent le temps écoulé tout en offrant une preuve ou une relique de la présence humaine.
1968 Born in Winnipeg.
My work focuses on the study and exploration of quiet, innocuous spaces at dusk and dawn, where the land is momentarily held - emerging from and receding into darkness. I search for ephemeral moments when space, light, and texture comes together to give pause. Embedded between the natural and domestic, these landscapes are often found at the periphery of parking lots, highways, urban parks, and public beaches. Each day these spaces are made and unmade and I am drawn to them for the weightlessness that lingers after activity ceases. They are charged with an alluring sense of anticipation - of what was and what will be.
The idea of exclusion is central to these images: left behind, left outside, forgotten. They are intentionally vacuous and hollow, devoid of human presence, but clearly touched by it. They contain an element of tension and speak of vulnerability and strength. I see them as visual metaphors for the struggles we encounter every day.
Being raised on the Canadian prairies, the horizon becomes part of your being. It seems as though everything is organized around it in some small way. Bluffs cling to it, telephone poles pierce it, and trains ride its edge.
In this series the horizon is given a similar organizing power. It's ever presence, and placement within the frame serves as graphic mechanism, grounding the viewer as they move from one image to the next regardless of viewing order. The horizon, or datum, is stitching together a disjointed panorama of ambiguous recollections into singular landscape. Each mage forms part of a collection, a series of objects documenting the passing of time by providing a witness or relic of a human presence.
