Folded 2

The Story Behind The Print – Folded 2 - Folded 2 emerged from a series of prints based on photographs of the aluminum press plates which are still used by newspapers and printers. These plates are used to print the pages of newspapers and magazines and the like. Frequently, after they are used they are sold to the public for use as water-proofing the tops of pilings used in installing piles for wharves and docks. I am intrigued by the fact that they are often hammered or stapled onto the piling with the previously used ink-side down. I am fascinated to know what story or stories and photographs lie hidden on the hidden side? Often as I process this series, I am thrilled to see subliminal (hidden) imagery emerge. What do you see?

Reflections Gifts

The Story Behind the Print – Reflections Gifts - Reflections Gifts emerged from an original ink drawing which I drew in 2005 while on a one week film school experience at Gulf Island Film and Television School on Galiano Island. It became the first print I did using self-designed software conceived by me and programmed by a former student.

Russian Winter

The Story Behind The Print – Russian Winter - Russian Winter emerged into a series of prints containing whiteness and emotion. This particular print is named in honour of a former student of mine who was born in Russia and happened to be an orphan. She was adopted into a Canadian family. The original photo was taken in Parksville, BC on March 4, 2006. The White in this print reminds me of the snow in the film Dr. Zhivago (1965), which was shot in the cold Russian winter. I have allowed this image to become the signature piece for my work. Read More...
