forest documents, 2016 – ongoing 2025, a video installation (54 minutes) with an adjacent reading room

a stereoscopic 3D (S3D) Video work, in preview now, with spatial audio, approximately 54 minutes (with production in 2016,  two Sony F65 cameras on an IMAX mirror rig; and with production in 2018,  a RED Weapon camera mounted on a drone). A Reading Room accompanies the installation.

The project started in June 2016 with the forest as a space of research, with an invitation from curator Haema Sivanesan (then at the  Art Gallery of Greater Victoria).  The exhibition, accompanied by a Reading Room, provides a number of publications and documents to give the forest spaces its voices, along with a forthcoming chapbook-memoir by Pacheedaht Elder William (Bill) Jones, Chronicles of the Forest: From the Walbran to Fairy Creek | What the Forest Needs, Our Heart Needs (2025).

This large format video projection project in progress arose in June 2016, with the consideration of the forest as a space of research as well as contemplation, marking the beginning of a new body of forest artworks.
