Poetic Arms + Pop-Up + Projection

8 feet long, the entire girls folds down into a pop-up book - the portable self with the portable city.

The inner projection lights up the cityscape on the booth surrounding it.

A 40 minute video projection of poetic arms slowly floats on the ground.

'Intersection' Bookwork at the Mouseprint Gallery 's Wunderkammer exhibition, Concordia University's Print Media department. Open October 12-24, 2012.

Throughout the summer I documented my pathways throughout my surroundings into moveable books.

The first is a book of a walk up of St. Laurent.

 

'Intersection' is a collection of places and imagery connected to the industrial buildings along Lachine Canal. This book folds down into a flat book and then springs up into a 3D sculpture.

 

Pop Up Neighbourhoods: Alleyways and Folded Cities

A busy summer of working on pop up neighbourhoods of Montreal: St. Laurent and the St. Henri canal have been thoroughly scoured and mapped with markers and watercolour!

Intaglio Prints

'Navigate'


'Flight'

Drawing inspiration from the 19th-20th century science fiction illustrator Albert Robida's floating fantastical cities, and the 1960's British artist Ron Herron's Walking City series, I have been thinking about cities on the move. Evolving, mutating, encroaching, these cities are kinetic islands always searching for their next future even as the current architecture is growing.
