PRESENTED WORK

DRAWING THE STRING, QUEBEC, 2004

Drawing the string is a photographic series of images taken during a Kyudo demonstration in downtown Montreal. The photographs act as slices of time cut out of a continuum, recreating the scene and effecting variations and new familiarities. Within this shifting tableau motifs emerge and a new story is written reflecting on change and continuity.
