2021
a small delft pot, rolled across the bed of a scanner, next to a small tea mug with brown and black markings.
A dark and hazy scan of Lawren Harris' Lake and Mountains, c. 1927. This print, in its original frame, hung in my grandma's living room for as long as I can remember.
A dark and hazy scan of Lawren Harris' Pic Island, c. 1924. This print, in its original frame, hung in my grandma's living room for as long as I can remember.
A streak of replaceable screwdriver heads contained in a rubber holder. Utility drifting, lines continual.
A streak of replaceable screwdriver heads contained in a rubber holder. Their movement has been stammered, providing a clear glimpse at the tools at the bottom of the image, but leaving echoes and small impressions of their previous trajectory.
A wrench, held mostly still, but with a slightly elongated end piece. The background is a light, almost-white-grey. The wrench's handle indicates its drop forged manufacture.
Bent
A small hourglass, represented three times. The object was placed at various points on the platen as the CIS bar scanned. On a grey background, this image effectively depicts the scanner's ability to represent objects simultanaeously at various points in time.
A small hourglass on a dark background represented seven times. It appears to roll across the image, surrounded by dark shadowy streaks. As it rolled across the platen, its form was compounded, elongated, and increasingly narrow.
A glass lamp shade with an ornate metal frame, removed from its main body. Scanned from the bottom up, the shade has been shifted and its rounded form has been made irregular and disjointed
A glass sphere sits on a small square glass stand. The sphere partially occludes a ring of dark shapes. The glass sphere acts as a lens, slightly magnifying the scanner's CIS bar, reflecting a blurred image of my home.
Throw blankets, a pillow case, and a bedsheet are overlaid on the scanner platen. The blanket is rough and heavy, and the sheet, thin and faded. These belonged to my mother as a child.
Throw blankets, a pillow case, and a bedsheet are overlaid on the scanner platen. The scanner's high resolution and shallow depth of field clearly capture the woven threads of fabric.

2022
a small, distorted delft pot, and a small distorted tea mug. The warped shape of the mugs stretch across a murky grey background.
two identical tea mugs, the topmost mug, scanned directly from the bottom, and the bottommost mug scanned from the side.
A small tea mug is dragged and distorted across the scanner's platen, stretching and extending the object out, flattening its design, and revealing multiple angles of the object at once in 2D form.
A delft pot, placed mouth down on the scanner platen is orbited by a small tea mug, pointing at an angle towards the black hole of the delft pot.
In sequence with Caught in Orbit I, Caught in Orbit II depicts the same delft pot and tea mug, angled slightly away from the delft pot
A delft pot has been rolled across the platen, creating an unravelled image of the pot's decorations
A delft pot, warped across the scanner bed, crosses paths with an unravelled and warped image of a brown and black tea mug.
A highly distorted delft pot, on a bright white background. The pot appears almost shattered, and much of its form is obscured within the background, blurring its contours and obscuring the extent of its form through its distortion.
A highly distorted delft pot, on a bright white background, with the mouth of the pot creating a large black spot at the right end of the image
An assortment of birthday and holiday cards, collected from a number of occasions since approximately 2011. The cards have been shifted irregularly on the scanner platen, creating the illusion that the carefully preserved cards have been crumpled and damaged.
An assortment of birthday and holiday cards, collected from a number of occasions since approximately 2011. The cards are represented carefully arranged with no optical distortions, to echo their preservation over the years.
A small section of the face of a spice rack, on a dark background with small streaks of white appearing at the bottom of the image
