A Tale of Three Cities
A Tale of Three Cities
In just under three decades I have been fortunate to live in a total of 6 cities, 3 of which I relocated to with more permanence.

Being no stranger to moving means that I have had quite a bit of practice in making every space that I inhabit my very own, most often through wall collages. As the first of many curatorial endeavours, this has remained an outlet for my personal and aesthetic expressions.

Smells Like Teen Spirit (2011)
Halifax, NS
If the walls of my teenage bedroom could talk, they would have a great deal of angsty poetry, fandom content, and 2010's pop culture to share.
A Lust For Life (2017)
Calgary, AB
By the mid-point of my undergrad I ventured to study abroad at Bader College in the UK, an institution that I'd had a keen eye on since beginning my studies. This assemblage speaks to my many interests, aspirations, and points of departure at this time.
Keep Me Posted (2021)
Halifax, NS
Finding and eye for print culture, I'd found myself captured by the bins of postcards found at flea markets. The familiarity of these visuals holds meaning not just for me, but for every individual before who might have handled this 4 by 6 inch portion of cardstock. Snippets of correspondence make a profound connection across people, space and time.
Transferrable Job Skills (2022)
Bridgewater, NS
At the DesBrisay Museum I was approached to make a display of scanned postcards from the many in the collection for exhibit: Winters of Days Gone By. This was part of a section featuring a writing desk complete with a quill and ink. It was really only part way through curating this that I'd realized just how much life had seamlessly led me to this point.
