GOD IS IN THE RADIO - multimedia installation

This introspective journey inside a deconstructed 1976 Ford Pinto is surreal and cinematic car simulation that celebrates the power of the voice inside the radio. This immersive dark winter drive from a Dartmouth suburb to downtown Halifax is accompanied with a mix of sensitive, critical, and thoughtful audio programming mashups that can be discovered and explored through the car's radio interface.

THE NARROWS - short film

This work was commissioned by with 'Narratives in Space+Time' for a project remembering the Halifax Explosion for its 100th anniversary. Matt Harrison and I worked together to create the sound composition that was played onboard a private boat ride through the Halifax harbour as we passed through 'The Narrows' where the historic collision in 1917 originally occurred. I made the this film throughout that process to accompany our soundtrack.

BUS RIDE BLUES - short film

Looking out the window on the drive from Dartmouth to Eastern Passage is the same route taken by the school bus from the subdivision Gabrielle grew up in. This short film is an exploration of childhood memory using physical and digital methods of capturing and recapturing video and text for a result that is both captivating and haunting.

COMMON GROUND - 22" X 30" fine art print using hand cut paper stencils, silkscreens and water based ink.

HOPE - multimedia installation

For this project I built a cargo tricycle using the rear-end of an old mountain bike with a reimagined custom front end. The modified cargo tricycle symbolizes a sort of transformation from basic machine to higher purpose. The custom trike is mounted on a wind trainer to be rode in place and positioned infront of a rear-projected passing landscape of rural Queens County, NS. The sensation of riding this machine down of small town road provokes a certain energy, simultaneously utopian and acopolyptic, but with each pedal rotation of the bicycle the rider can see the word HOPE become momentarily illuminated infront of them. People watching from other angles cannot see the HOPE sign. Only the person riding the bike sees the message.
