I am an interdisciplinary artist and cultivator based in Vancouver and Toronto.

Through my art practice, I reflect on queer feminist histories both known and unknown, while speaking to larger societal structures of power and oppression. Considering the idea of how sexuality is structured through public and private space, also known as queer geography, I create experimental topographies through photographic film and moving images using analog technologies. Bridging methods of alternative processes, experimental film and queer histories (both personal and political) I cultivate intimate experiences for viewers to expand their ideas of queer space and time.

Using organic film developers (also known as eco-processing) necessitates working directly with the film, resulting in an intimate collaboration among material, concept, and aesthetic. The intervention of my hand onto the surface while film development is occurring creates scratches and artifacts on the emulsion, obscuring the image and countering the dominant tendency towards clarity. Queering traditional approaches to photography and handling film, I see film as a resilient material, embracing marks on the emulsion as a form of refusal. Moving beyond representation and visibility politics, my art practice focuses on expanding ideas of contemporary queer photography to connect community, ecology and time. 

I have exhibited my works across Turtle Island and internationally in Toronto (Gallery 44, Arsenal Contemporary), Calgary (Contemporary Calgary), Vancouver (Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery), Ottawa (SPAO Photographic Center) and internationally (Japan, United Kingdom, Spain and Slovenia).

In support of my art practice and research, I received the graduate scholarship from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council in 2023, and have received grants from the Ontario Arts Council, BC Arts Council and Canada Council for the Arts.

In 2025, I co-founded The Bucket Collective, cultivating film related programs, events and workshops in so-called Vancouver. I’m in the bucket with Chris Chong Chan Fui, Noé Rodriguez, Marianne Thodas and Terra Long. You can check us out here.

I was also a founding member of The Rude Collective, a queer arts collective amplifying voices of marginalized queer folks in Toronto (2016-2020).

This website was designed by Mohammad Rezaei and with the generous support of the Ontario Arts Council.
