The house tilts

To break the linear narrative of movement, to make it fiction, 

asking whether we first slid into the frame or shied away from it, 

slowly

​

This series of pinhole photographs were taken in the context of a month-long artist residency in Métis-sur-mer. The absence of a lens and extended exposure time are characteristic of the pinhole technique.  What I offer are impressions; of the tidal landscapes of the St. Lawrence River, the delicate pulse of the Reford Gardens, and the passage of light through the historic Maison d’Ariane. Time dissolves—merging past and present, the seen and the sensed, the ethereal and the ephemeral.
