A little late sharing this, but it finally happened. My first mural! We hustled through spring break to make this happen as a surprise for the students and the staff.

Grateful to the team at @hopesecondary for the opportunity to bring this into a space I used to walk as a student. A real full circle moment.

This piece brings together stories rooted in Ts’qó:ls. St’am’iya is carried through the landscape, reflecting transformation and presence in the land. Xa:ls and the stone in the river speaks to balance and consequence. The origin of fishing runs through the Fraser, holding knowledge, teaching, and survival. Th’óxiya is there as well, a reminder of awareness and the weight of our actions.

You’ll see shared Salish weaving patterns running throughout the piece, grounding everything in that visual language and tying the stories together across the surface. I leaned into bright, playful colour to keep the work open and inviting, and used overlapping forms and layout shifts to build a more contemporary way of holding multiple stories at once.

All of it is woven through pattern, colour, and form. The river, mountains, and animals moving through a shared story.

Thank you to @nawhasteenek , @kristieleeanne , and Caitlin Demmitt for making this possible.

And most importantly, none of this would exist without my life, film production, and mural partner @goodmark.academy

More to come on this piece…don’t sleep!

What is {DE}Fragmented?

{De}Fragmented is an installation I’ve been slowly building as a reflection on cultural reclamation, exploring how memory, language, and story find new form over time, and in new places.

Each time the work travels, it reassembles differently. Sculptural walls become pathways. Openings become windows. Digital layers including AR, sound, and projection emerge quietly within the structure, holding stories in collaboration with other artists.

Created with support from the @fpcc.ca , this piece exists within a larger movement of rediscovery and renewal. A gentle defragmenting. A returning.

The relief shapes carved into the walls reference Salish form. QR markers activate stories that surface in these openings, like knowledge reappearing in spaces where something once felt missing.

As sunlight moves across the installation, shadows stretch and shift. Time becomes visible.

When all the structural elements are brought together, they form the face of an eagle. Throughout the space, the pieces remain dispersed, like memory held in different corners of the mind. Woven patterns thread the walls together, connecting the fragments like a blanket still in progress.

Like the eagle, this installation becomes a vessel, a messenger carrying stories of finding place, belonging, roots, and ourselves in a time that often feels anything but.

This is only the beginning. {DE}Fragmented is a living work. I am seeking future placements, building relationships with the Nations whose territories it visits, and opening the space to collaboration. If you are an immersive AR or projection artist, sound artist, poet, storyteller, or someone who feels this work belongs in your gallery, event, or gathering space, I would truly welcome the conversation.

Let’s keep building bridges together. 🦅❤️

I was honoured to be able to softly launch my -in progress- installation work {DE}Fragmented in Victoria on the traditional territory of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples of the Songhees Nation and Xʷsepsəm Nation, and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples.

Huge thank you to @experiencedusk and @downtownvictoria for helping bring what has been completed -so far- out into the world.

{DE}Fragmented is an immersive cultural installation shaped by the feeling of where we are right now. A time of collective reclamation. Of returning. Of remembering. Of rebuilding meaning through new mediums, in a world that has changed so much around us.

The work is built as a space you can walk through, sit inside, and spend time with.

Walls become pathways. Openings become windows.

The shapes cut into the structure are traditional Salish relief forms, acting like portals. Each one will be paired with a QR code, activating a shareable immersive story when viewed or listened to through your phone.

These experiences sit in the quiet places of forgotten or lost memory. Spaces where new knowledge can emerge. Stories from within, and stories carried in by others.

Sunlight moves through the positive and negative spaces, and shadows stretch and shift as the day passes. The work changes with time, the way we do.

{DE}Fragmented is a living artwork, and this was only the beginning.

With the next rendition, I cannot wait to curate artists and invite new AR, sound, and projection mapped works into the structure as it continues to grow.

We’re just getting started.
More to come.

Another @p5xjs experiment from last year’s archive. This one got a little unhinged in the process, and I eventually let it go. I had no idea what I was doing but that’s been the fun part, slowly learning on this platform.

My coding is still pretty scrappy, and it’s mostly patchwork from tutorials and workshops, but I know with patience it’ll start coming more naturally. I look forward to that moment when it just clicks and I realize I’m doing it without even thinking. Until then, the process is full of ups and downs, self-perceived wins and losses.

But really, mistakes are subjective. What feels like a failure at first might actually hold its own kind of beauty. Whether in code, or life sometimes it’s the missteps that bring out the most interesting and unexpected results.

P5.js exercises. I was learning code a while ago. I’ll post more as I explore the archives, if I remember 😬

I’m always late to, or don’t bother posting….however I’m trying to keep up here and there.
I was recently commissioned to create a 360 work at the @spacecentreyvr planetarium for the Indigenomics Summit April 2025, thanks to @surface_city @indigenomics @move37xr for bringing me into the loop! And to @milygrams for helping me getting everything spec ready last minute!
It was so great meeting everyone there and running into @caseykoyczanart !

This was probably one of the most memorable studio tours I’ve ever done! I’m so stoked to bring in my pals at @getbentneoninc to help me bring my @yvraf work to life with them! I’ve had some work I’ve been meaning to make for years on the back burner, and I’m looking forward to finally have this opportunity to bring something pretty special to life with the help of these two.
Let’s get at it.
