Inspirée d'une photographie de famille de la fin des années 1970, Patterned Ground capture les parents et le frère de l'artiste assis derrière leur emblématique et bien-aimée Chrysler New Yorker. La peinture explore la nostalgie et la culture classique canadienne (Canadiana) à travers le regard de nouveaux immigrants.
Based on a quiet moment beneath a tree, Shadow Patterns explores how shifting light can alter perception. The figure is partially obscured by the shadows of leaves, creating a surface that feels both present and unstable. What begins as a recognizable scene slowly dissolves into pattern, where body and ground become difficult to separate.
A painting drawn from a family photograph, Charline Motel explores immigrant arrival, shared nostalgia, and the everyday rituals of travel and belonging.
