Nude Thawing - Limited Edition of 25 Print

This image was photographed from a window looking down onto the surface of lake Ontario as the ice was melting during spring. The ice was slowly changing so shooting many variations was easy. This particular one reminded me of my days in class drawing nudes. This classic female profile, although a little morphed, even has small black holes making a line mimicking the spine. The viewer will understand the fragility of our lives. Time changes everything as we get older. The imagery in my work investigates juxtapositions and the stage-like, surreal aspects of life in general. With the help of these juxtapositions, I try to make the ordinary into something intriguing. These compositions are influenced by my interest with the snapshot aesthetic, street photographer Gary Winogrand, surrealist painter René Magritte, Canadian painter Mimi Matte and my mentors Canadian photographers Lynne Cohen, Evergon, Geoffery James and Michael Schreier. The outcome of this blend, for much of my work, brings the snapshot aesthetic into the surreal - where juxtapositions meet within a tidy and sterile stage-like surrounding.
