...because art makes life better
...that supports emerging artists
...that doesn't break the bank
...to feed my brain
...to give to my mates
...so my walls tell me stories
...with my Aeroplan rewards points
...when I celebrate something good
...that reflects how I think
...to fill my apartment
...that I can share with my friends
...for wedding presents (instead of toasters!)
...because posters are crap
...to understand more about the world
...to give to my friends
...for birthday presents
...as an investment
...in a heart beat
...all of the time!

Flight VI, Descent III (Landing), 2010
from the series Flight Series
This photographic grid is from Flight Series, a process and time-based photographic series. The structured grid places less importance on individual images and emphasizes the compiled representations of time, unpredictable occurrences and the flight progression of the uncontrolled high-altitude balloons. Flight VI, Descent III (Landing) reveals the final descent of the sixth flight. After approximately three hours rising to its zenith,* the balloon exploded and the payload wildly descended back to Earth buffered by a parachute. For this photographic grid, I condensed the last thirty-two minutes of the flight so we quickly travel from the curvature of the Earth to landing sideways in a grassy field. I specifically included images in which remnants of the balloon and its cord are visible in order to reference the object whose journey we are witnessing.
Flight Series is a collaboration with Justin Hamel and Chris Thompson who engineered the high-altitude balloon flights.
*over approx. 100,000 feet/30km into the Stratosphere.
