Magnetic Fields I & II, 2025 (handcut collage)
Magnetic fields describes a physical force field around our planet that affects electric charges, currents, and magnetic materials. The Magnetic Fields (1919) is also the title of a surrealist work of automatic writing where content was generated without conscious control. Entangling both physical phenomena and psychic creativity, magnetic fields generates fertile and magical phenomena. Channeling science fact and science fiction, this collage series is also inspired by recent scientific evidence suggesting that birds are able to migrate long distances by sensing magnetic fields either through a photochemical alteration in their eyes allowing them to “see” Earth’s magnetic field lines or detecting electric currents in their inner ears.

2025 Interdimensional Worlds exhibition + artist book launch, May 3-28, 2025
Qabala, a mystical tradition, a practice and a cosmology in Jewish esoteric thought, is the study of the relationship between the eternal divine and the material world. Early knowledge was transmitted orally from master to disciple until it crystallized in textual form in the 12th and 13th centuries in Spain and southern France. Its method prioritizes the questioning, probing and interpreting of esoteric ideas. For over two thousand years, Qabala has expanded and evolved, taking on ever-emergent forms. There is no singular Qabala; this elusiveness is part of its attraction. Interdimensional Worlds is an artist book presenting 32 oracle cards based on the Qabala, as well as an essay titled “A Speculative Inheritance”. Eighteen of the collages will be shown as digital prints for an exhibition at 881 Gallery in Vancouver, BC.
