The images of the forbidden hours can eat you alive were created in response to a series of profound and personal moments from my time living and working in the wilderness of Jasper National Park. Utilizing photography, collage, manipulation of media, and re-photography I was able to explore and articulate the lingering presence of this time and space and communicate the layered intensity of the often-overwhelming environment. This work is a direct reflection of my memory and my documentation intertwining, but is predominantly referring to the vulnerability of exposure, the shocking beauty and wisdom of the wilderness, and the power of the serenity that is offered in these moments of living.
