To broaden the discourse between disciplines, hcma's art residency program stimulates discussion and challenges preconceptions about architectural and design practice.
The invitation to an artist is to challenge, spark curiosity and help ask better questions about the world around us. www.HCMA.ca/tilt/artist-in-residence
I will be working with hcma's offices in Vancouver, Victoria and Edmonton to develop three interconnected site-specific works that reflect on what can unite and bring communities together.

Virtual Launch March 11, 2021
The Gallery invited submissions that redirect the eye away from the iconic photographic image toward new forms and representational culture. The aim is to assemble and display alternative representations that lead away from homogeneity toward an architecture and culture that claims no specific centre. The abolition of the centre, and its replacement with the void is a position in architecture and culture that redirects perception to the Periphery.
