About
I work with writer Sandra Shields on photo-text installations around power and its blind spots including 3 books (BC Book Prize 2003). In public galleries we have made a practice of appropriating pop forms as a means of sharing uncomfortable knowledge. Our last project, touring show Grand Theft Terra Firma (BC Museums Award 2018), tackles our own responsibility as settlers using digital gaming to reframe the settlement of Canada as a nefarious heist and challenge the moral authority of the colonial narrative.
