Display and decor projects: fabrication, installation & collaboration
I started out doing decorations at underground parties in Toronto in 2007, then got into window display work at Holt Renfrew, then props, puppets, and masks, which lead to some unique opportunities to make sculptural and interactive art for public spaces. After moving to Vancouver in 2016 and focusing more on scenic painting work, my skills have improved and I've gotten to work on some really fun displays and interactive art pieces In the Lower Mainland. During my employment at Great Northern Way Scene Shop (2018 - 24) I worked on many corporate and institutional projects, involving a high degree of collaboration, teamwork, and attention to detail resulting in the highest quality of work I have accomplished in this field. |
Vancouver Maritime Museum: Children's Maritime Discovery Centre, 2022 - 2023
This was a very big project; the team at GNW completely rebuilt this room, from the studs floor to ceiling. Designed by Doug Munday. I personally built the seals & seagulls, and had my hand on all other painted surfaces, supported by a large team of artists & technicians who built and installed everything you see in these photos. The room officially opened on Family Day 2023.

The Paper Shooter, Spring 2019
Collaboration with GNW Scene Shop and Tangible Interaction
During April/May of 2019 I got to build and paint an interactive art piece, commissioned by Tangible Interaction. We built one for Science World in Vancouver and one for Chicago's WNDR Museum. As seen in the video, you put a special paper pod (with an LED on it) into the shooter, close the door, push a button, and watch as it shoots up and flutters down. The piece had a 4" pipe mounted within an 8" pipe: custom 3D printed pieces bridged the small and large PVC pipes, and intersected with a 40' hose at the top. An industrial-strength fan mounted inside one leg was activated by a button with controllers set inside the pipes too. A sliding door allowed the user to place their paper pod inside the 4" pipe, then close the door to create the air pressure needed to push the pod all the way up the hose. It was a good challenge and a great collaboration I think!
