THE CREATIVES

I have been collaborating with and documenting artists and their works from all disciplines dating back to the late 1990’s to curate collections, co-create artistic works, catalogue work for portfolios/archives, publications and promotional material. It continually fuels me and my passion for creation.

François Houle, composer + clarinetist

Current project, The Secret Lives of Color (TSLOC): I was commissioned by the Pierre Boulez Saal in Germany to create short film about composer & clarinetist François Houle’s compositional process leading up to the world debut on September 19, 2021 in Berlin. The TSLOC concept has continued to evolve as has the way Houle and I work together. He has continued to develop and workshop components of the material with various artists for which I have taken part observing and recording the process through my creative perspective. I have continued developing my visual body of work with him in Whitehorse, New York City, and the Netherlands. The latest chapter with a full ensemble was performed at Modulus Festival in November 2022 in Vancouver.

Houle has invited me to expand my role to create and curate a distinct body of visual work to present alongside the next major live performance of TSLOC at NovaraJazz Festival in Italy, June 2024. Inspired by Robert Lepage’s “Image Mill” in Quebec City, I will be displaying the imagery with projections in synch with the live performance. Unlike most festivals of its kind, it is site specific. Novara is a known architectural gem of Italy and the performance locations are selected based on the best visual and acoustic specifications.
