These photos & video were inspired by The REDress Project - created by Jaime Black. I took these photos to help raise awareness and keep the spotlight on the #MMIW

The REDress Project, focuses around the issue of missing or murdered Aboriginal women across Canada. It is an installation art project based on an aesthetic response to this critical national issue. The project seeks to collect 600 red dresses by community donation that will later be installed in public spaces throughout Winnipeg and across Canada as a visual reminder of the staggering number of women who are no longer with us. Through the installation I hope to draw attention to the gendered and racialized nature of violent crimes against Aboriginal women and to evoke a presence through the marking of absence.

1 year Anniversary of Vancouver Oil Spill

It's been year since the oil spill in Vancouver last year...
And EVERYONE KNOWS
WE WILL NEVER BE READY!

Save My Coast is a Art Project of Oil Paintings and Digital Images in a video and with music to help you visually remind of what we stand to lose if we do not take action and keep fossil fuels in the ground.

Bunker fuel is a type of liquid fuel used on ships which is fractionally distilled from crude oil. It is extremely crude and highly polluting.
