Director's Statement: I am a film/video maker but also work in photography, sculpture, print-media, and performance. My work takes on multiple concerns regarding issues of gender, sexuality, identity, existential quandaries regarding consciousness and have recently been talking more about "˜place' within my work. I have also become more and more interested in place as a defining element of all of the above rooted issues. And as such, I've become more interested in developing work about Saskatchewan and making it both interesting and accessible to those within and outside these borders. I also use humour and the absurd as tools to discuss ideas critically that are both sensitive within Saskatchewan and to those outside looking in.
