Current Work
I am currently working on a series photographs which are diptychs of my older black and white images combined with new colour work. |
Short Bio
I was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada of Swiss parents. From 1979 to 1986 I worked in television at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and pursued an interest in independent film-making.
In 1986 I decided to focus on a long-standing interest in photography and took courses at Ryerson Polytechnic Institute and the Ontario College of Art in Toronto, specializing in black and white photography. Since then I have exhibited in solo and group shows in Canada, France, the United States and the Netherlands.
In my artist statement I have written "From the time I first found my own voice as an artist I have mostly used plastic toys and dolls in staged settings to create tableaux vivants in which I seek my own meanings and invite the viewer to find his or her own." My art is based on imagination and I am interested in story-telling, play and mystery.
