A Teleplasmic Study with Doilies (A Selection)
Digital Photography
2010 - 2011

This series of photographs emerge from my experience with the silence that resonates when one’s breath leaves their body and the silence that exists when one is in a state of grief and mourning. This series of photographs are reminiscent of Dr. T. G. Hamilton’s ectoplasm photographs taken during the séances conducted in his home in Winnipeg in the early 1900’s.
