About
This work is part of a larger ongoing project, #facesofhamilton. Being a recent immigrant to Canada, I wanted to explore my new community and city, Hamilton. I have interviewed strangers about the city, then quilted their portraits. They then nominate the next participants. Participants range from community organizers, artists, arts administrators, musicians, bloggers and a member of the city council. In effect, I am building a large quilt out of the network of people I am building in my new home.
My work in portraiture is interaction driven. I get to know my subject by taking candid photos and studying their unique body language. Focusing on the person in mid-motion, I capture raised eyebrows, crooked smiles and waving hands that we all use to communicate. This is a response to the deluge of Instagram and Facebook images currently flooding our daily lives. My intention is to re-interpret fleeting imagery by slowing down the process and hand working it, slowly creating a permanent object from an image that we are accustomed to seeing swiped away by a finger.
