About
I am a practice-led researcher, curator, and photographer working at the intersection of art, technology, and curation. My research investigates how we document, preserve, and give meaning to ephemeral and time-based work — from performance art to digital artifacts to the quiet, recurring act of watching the sunset.
I hold an MA in the History of Art, Design, and Visual Culture from the University of Alberta, where my thesis — supervised by Dr. Natalie Loveless — used research-creation methodology to address the documentation of performance and ephemeral art. Alongside my written thesis, I produced a curated exhibition of lens-based and sound-based work.
My curatorial experience includes an internship at the Smithsonian Museum of American Art and the Luce Centre in Washington DC, collections management at the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, and independent exhibition projects including a research-creation exhibition in Belgrade, Serbia, and multiple graduate student exhibitions at the University of Alberta.
Before my graduate studies, I taught Digital Imaging at MacEwan University, where I developed the syllabus and course materials from scratch. I also worked as a commercial photographer. I have peer-reviewed publications, have presented at conferences, and my work has been cited in books and academic papers.
My current research takes two forms. Theseus/Ariadne is a self-directed digital curation framework — philosophically grounded in psychoanalysis and phenomenology, technically implemented as an AI-mediated archival system. The Last Sunsets is an ongoing photographic project, now in its third year, that documents the sunset as a practice of sustained attention.
I am based in Vancouver, on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
