Wînipêk Gallery Exhibition

A few years back I was walking with my mother through the Winnipeg Art Gallery, looking at the art, excited to be there and be there together…when she stopped, raised her arms up towards the wall and dramatically said- 

“And here it is Jamie…this is where your art will hang!  I know your art will be in this gallery one day!”

Unwavering support, and her genuine smile, even when I would respond “Probably not mom”.

She’s not here anymore…and it’s a moment like this I wish I could share with her…She would be so proud knowing my film work is a part of the current exhibition at the WAG.

Kinship

New ways of connecting that I never knew were possible, through family, movement and language. This piece represents a part of a bigger project that uses abstract images and manipulated sounds to convey how language is connected and moves through us.

Kaleidiscope

Slow Sunday here today, spent some time reviewing and editing footage, creating short pieces that carry the hazy recollection of memories.  The feeling when you try and recall a moment and all you can find are the shapes and sounds of where you used to be.
