Corners are about making space, and are reminiscent of Minimalist or Constructivist composition. The work both aligns with and diverges from Minimalism in the strictest sense, being representational of human-fabricated architectural details. Sometimes purely aesthetic formal compositions, sometimes metaphors for a state of mind, the main body of work - chromogenic colour photographs of the corners of my Winnipeg apartment - is as personally expressive as just about anything. I'm also curious about trompe l'oeil, and op-art, and the manners in which the tools and tricks of which can be used today in a range of media.
One of the Corners is held in the collection of the Canada Council Art Bank.
