Vancouver, British Columbia.
My work focuses on themes of individual and group identity as reflected in spaces that, over time, give us a sense of place. Yu-Fu Tuan calls this sense of place “topophilia.” He describes this as an “affective bond with one's environment.” I often focus on hings that have already occurred and now exist only through our continued engagement with what remains in the landscape, often little more than echos, whispers and reverberations.
