Artist Statement

Using the syntax of commercial outdoor product photography, I create images of the results of consumerism. Lost, discarded and broken objects replace the new objects of ad photos on the natural background of pebbles, granite, snow and water. Viewers are invited to think about how the romantic ruggedness of the Canadian landscape is used to promote a culture of consumerism.

"I should like to make even the most ordinary spectator feel that he is not living in the best of all possible worlds."
