I’m an artist and designer from Canada, with a background in animation and production design. The MA program enabled me to apply aspects of these fields towards illustration, culminating in my masters project, ‘Under Chairs, Behind Tables’. The work is a series of illustrations presented in two formats: individual drawings and a newsprint journal. Imagery focuses on that of the home and associated objects, such as furniture.

The use of the two formats allowed me to balance between hand-drawn and digital compositions, particularly for the newsprint journal. The journal serves the additional purpose of sharing key texts, providing more detailed context to the series.

Additional influences on this piece include architecture-based references, manuals, and mid-century catalogues, to name a few. As with previous projects, I’ve appreciated the opportunity to use illustration as a way to indulge my curiosity in other fields of research, and aim to continue doing so in future work.
