Fugitive Pollutions (2007-ongoing): This series documents the often invisible traces of pollution in the Canadian environment. The subject of these images is the 'difficult to photograph' minute and fugitive elements that have seeped into the greater landscape and overall atmosphere, escaping visibility, detection and measure. This series supports the research project "Visualizing the Invisible" a project launched by the team of Western University scholars Kelly Jazvac, Dr. Patricia Corcoran and Kelly Wood. This work was shown in Impel with Puffs at Diaz Contemporary, Toronto

Sound Series (2007-8): A series of recordings of iconic Canadian electronic music pioneer's recordings translated from their own binary digital code to binary pixel image flows. These large photographs are direct translations of electronic musical recordings such as Hugh LeCain's Dripsody (1955) an infamous piece of musique concrète based on the sound of a single drop of water that is permuted and contorted into a multitude of sounds. Other notable translations include: The Nihilist Spasm Band--An Appeal to Reason (1984), and UJ3RK5, Naum Gabo (date). Subtle traces of musical score as manifested as almost Chladni-like Patterns of rythym and prepetion are clearly, and distinctly, noticeable in each of the visual works. awashawave, Barroco Nova, and Les Matins Infideles
