“A city paused, beautiful without sound.
Night-time has always appealed to me. The sun sets and the bustling city slows. The people retire indoors to sleep and a hush falls over Toronto, Canada. Lights are turned on and the visual experience of a landscape setting, otherwise in darkness, is trans- formed. Unseen spatial relationships reveal themselves in the night lighting.
While Toronto sleeps, I create my art. Driving around Toronto at night has led me to notice areas with intriguing ambient lighting. I try to isolate and preserve these scenes. I like to share landscapes that the public might not fully recognize. They may associate feelings of familiarity with the landscape, but only completely know the scene in daylight.”
