The portrait takes an essential place in his creations. He is currently working on a long process creation entitled “the box” which involve an intimate creation of portraits. This setup also helps in linking all the portraits together in a coherent collection.

His development of the portrait thematic includes shooting live events on stage and backstage. He regularly photographs musical and dance events. In 2015, he became the Photographer in residence with New Dance Horizon and the photographer for the Regina Symphony Orchestra.

Untitled Peter Tripp Project

Open Studio: Johanna Bundon, Jayden Pfeifer, and Lee Henderson.

'Johanna Bundon, Jayden Pfeifer, and Lee Henderson's durational performance-installation incorporates movement, voice, custom electronics, and image.

​A Third Skin Unites Us

Live Performance: Blair Fornwald and Sandee Moore.

Fornwald & Moore enact the risk and trust inherent in caring relationships. Drawing on Marcel Duchamp’s notion of the infrathin, an imperceptible separation or difference between two things, and Roland Barthes’ observation that separation is also a bond, the artists physicalize their bond through prickly, sticky and ephemeral materials. 

Sandee Moore proposes to animate social relationships through personal exchange via artwork in media such as performance, video, installation, and interactive electronic sculpture. Moore has screened and exhibited across Canada (including The Surrey Art Gallery, The Art Gallery of Alberta, Plug In ICA, The Winnipeg Art Gallery, The Dalhousie Art Gallery, The Blackwood Gallery, and The Dunlop Art Gallery) and in Japan.

Fornwald holds a BFA from the University of Regina and an MFA from Western University. Her curatorial, visual, and performance art practices are united by a collaborative impulse and interests in the aesthetics of failure, the expression of vulnerability, and the use of humour to confront difficult truths. She has presented work across Canada, the United States, and in Germany.
