Moments in Time was displayed at the George Gilmour Gallery at Open Studio from February 27 through April 4.  Moments in Time utilizes the type of spontaneous images made possible by the ubiquity of smartphones. In my daily life, I am often on foot and take the opportunity to notice the day-to-day changes the seasons bring in the lawns and gardens of my neighbourhood.  When I see a flower in bloom, or brightly coloured fall leaves, things that appear so temporarily, I capture these images in their prime, and crop and edit them to highlight their unique beauty. Now a permanent record of the temporary beauty exists; close up, cropped and singled out. Translating the images from a photograph to a print by using the photocopy transfer process gives the images a softer and more delicate quality. Layering and collaging these with linocut images of other foliage, pieces of older prints, and passages of text and maps suggests memories, keepsakes, or pages from a journal.  Hand sewing the collages together physically joins the paper while the stitches add colour and texture.
