    Fragments of a forest trail – a path traveled many times, never the same way twice.

  • 350 MYA

    In Terra Long’s 350 MYA, a sheet whips before the camera, shaped by the same wind that forms the rigid, undulating lines of sand below it as the film conjures the continued presence of the now-vanished Rheic Ocean in the Tafilalet region of the arid Sahara Desert.

  • Dominion

    The thistle, shamrock, rose entwined, a vision in the longhouse, a dream in the wilderness.

  • Ravine

    In Toronto’s Nordheimer Ravine, an environment of thick brush and dead wood flattens into fields of colour. Its paths lead to Winston Churchill Park, where the entrance to a city reservoir overlooks a green vale.

  • Watch Tower

    Structured in seven parts, each segment considers the impact a transmission beacon relays into its surrounding environment. Watch Tower acknowledges the act of watching through an acute awareness of how form influences perception while also observing the communications and time-keeping properties of the subject.

  • Watergazing

    Watergazing is as old as humanity. It is the practise of calmly and peacefully studying the water, its motion and its shimmerings in order to experience images rising from our own depths. The flowing water becomes a metaphor for time, which assists the practised watergazer in seeing into the past and the future.

    It is an abstract musical narrative in which the hunting instinct plays out in an other-world setting. XircaNox inhabits a mysterious and challenging world full of art historical images. Set to an original score by the composer-animator, XircaNox is a significant addition to the artistic genre. Art history images include iconic works by Van Gogh, Holbein, Fragonard, Rodin, Manet, Da Vinci, Velazquez, Renoir, Ingres, Michelangelo, and more.
