INSTALLATION
PLEASE TRESSPASS |
2018
Site-specific installation. Two large-scale light boxes are constructed in order to display photographs depicting No Trespassing signs posted in the forest. The light boxes are placed on either side to the entrance of a public pedestrian bridge, acting as foreboding authoritative monoliths, the forest is framed by the landscaped shrubbery. Viewers are forced to consider their access to this public pathway, bringing to focus questions around land ownership. |
RED SKY AT NIGHT |
2017
Site-specific installation, Inspired by old mariner lore: "Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky in morning, sailors take warning.", the 104 year old historic CSS Acadia, a former oceanographic research trip, morphs from museum exhibit into a dreamlike spectre through sound and video, contemplating the perils of the open ocean. |

BLACK BOX |
2011
Site-specific installation. (collaboration with Katharine Kyle Vingoe-Cram) The ghostly relic from aviation history, a tetrahedral kite, the landmark flying machine invented by Alexander Graham Bell floats centre stage in the empty theatre, a black box. Behind the kite, an atmospheric video depicts the flight path of various aircrafts across a pastel sky, filling the room with their loud engine noise. |
VENTURE |
2011
Site-specific installation. The artist documents her road trip all the way from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland to Labrador, living in a Chevy Venture mini-van, finalizing the journey at Full Tilt Creative Centre in McIvers, Newfoundland. The van is presented as part of an installation, it is parked into a barn, exhibiting the cumulative character that it has gained throughout its journey. The van's back hatch is open, inside there is a video projection depicting the shifting landscapes and weather on the road from the driver's perspective, depicting a bobblehead moose as a companion, swaying and bobbing its head at every bump and turn. |

CAMPSITE |
2010
Site-specific installation. This work was created based on then-recent transient experiences hitch-hiking where every night the artist had to find a place to pitch her tent to sleep, often finding forgotten corners in public spaces. A tent pitched down a dark alley is illuminated, glowing from the inside which suggests that it is occupied. Beside the tent, a projected flashlight beam scans the ground while approaching footsteps and whispers can be heard. |
