| Influenced by previous works such as Simon
Patterson’s “The Great Bear,” Ed Ruscha’s photobooks,
and, perhaps, the work of Bernd and Hilla Becher and Alan Sekula, I am interested
in challenging audiences’ perceptions of how information is understood,
consumed, documented and interpreted. On a formal level my project’s
documents explore ideas and relationships of image and colour, while also
examining issues around archiving and information architecture.
The project, a large scale, gridded composite of every bus stop in Surrey
BC presents a blizzard of site-specific info which becomes an informal
portrait of the city and its topography.
