Made in Québec – 2015
The project involved exporting myself to China to work for workers, framing myself as a Canadian commodity at work in a Chinese context. This gesture can be understood as a giving back of some of the time that Chinese products have saved Westerners.

Same Day – 2012
The exhibition Same Day explores the many different voices in news media that frame events and the limitations of trying to take part in a public discussion.

The Dad Tapes / The Mom Photographs: Sunsets – 2007
In the second work from The Dad Tapes / The Mom Photographs, Sunsets, I similarly use my parent’s taping and photography to examine their repetitive preoccupation with capturing the “timeless” subject of the sunset. While the intention of the documents was to preserve these moments forever, both artworks underline the bittersweet sensation of loss and futility within the whole process of documentation.
