dc.description.abstractThrough the juxtaposition of image pairs, visual artists and designers use flipping-style lenticular film to convey complex relationships and affects. Solo visual art exhibitions 'Let’s Do the Time Warp Again' at the Art Gallery of Alberta (2021) and 'Don’t Dream It, Be It' at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery (2024) took the lenticular as both craft material and capacious analogy for affects of time and change. At both exhibitions’ center, a series of eight institutional portraits commissioned in elementary and high school were combined with contemporary equivalents. Visual effects and movements resulting from lenticular lens misalignment offered a shimmering diachronic perspective on trajectories of self. Meanwhile, conspicuously crafted clocks failed to keep time. The exhibitions’ playful archive of objects and feelings offered a generative and critical stage on which to consider social trajectories of gender transition and embodiment via visual metaphor. This support paper documents and contextualizes the artist’s ongoing research-creation practice.
