Under the Sun

Exhibition at YYZ Artist's Outlet. Toronto CAN.

Under the Sun

presents recent sculptural photo-objects that reference small scale convenience stores. Taking the form of illuminated commercial sign boxes seen on storefronts, the artworks combine text and imagery from signs with shadows cast upon them by foliage from trees. Evidence of the sun, artificial light, photosynthesis, and objects of consumption connect various processes of energy and material transformation. The objects embed human, earthly, and celestial time frames. Working schedules are presented alongside cycles of days and seasons, and the lifespan of things on the surface of the Earth with that of the Sun.
