I had 3 pieces in this show! Two of the shots were from the

Icepiks series and one was brand new.

 

Grasp nothing. Regret nothing.
22 x 17 Unaltered digital photograph on archival paper
$150
This photograph was taken in the abandoned kitchen of the Lafayette Hotel,
a 1929 Long Beach icon. Echoes are left lingering here beneath condominiums
once alive with the frenzied demand of hotel patrons.
Shooting in candlelight, the image revealed was completely unexpected. An apparition? A visitation? The logical product of refraction and reflection? Maybe it doesn’t matter how the figure in the photograph came to be. Stephen Hawking said, "To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit." Perhaps we are constantly crossing borders, in and out of space, and back and forth through time.

Razor Wire

20 x 16 Digital photograph on archival paper
$85

A Soul is Given and Razor Wire are part of a series of digital photographs entitled IcePiks. They were each shot nord du bord, in Montreal, Quebec. Taken through the storm windows of my house during the long, harsh winter, the images are of condensation that formed and became frozen between the double paned glass. Taken at different times of the day and night and with varying light sources from the outdoors, the images captured a wide range of tone, shape and color which were always unexpected and always magical…
These photographs came out of a literal border crossing for me. Climate was measured in centigrade, distance in kilometers, and both language and logic were distinctly French. When my borders shifted, my perspective shifted. I learned to challenge my own self-imposed limitations. I found beauty and wonder in the most unlikely places.
