The series, Liminal Illusions endeavours to illuminate BC’s forest stewardship through the flow of nature. The works witness environmental portals gradually emerging in Gaia. These iridescent thresholds may appear as vibrational apparitions or metaphorical illusions, signposts to the imminent climate crisis. Undertaking these complex issues of environmental stewardship and global conservation, the artist’s lens-based imagery experiments with representing physical, emotional and symbolic openings present within liminal spaces in our natural world.

New work:
– Liminal Illusions – Endeavours to illuminate BC’s forest stewardship through the flow of nature.
– Seeing Anew: Earthly Presence – Beholding the beauty of the world beyond the news
– Awakening into Nature  – Short Film
– Meditating into the Natural World – Short Film
– Resistance – Short Animated Loop
– Meditating into Art… The Art of Viewing – Experimental installation concept
