(peek-a-boo)

Porter, Vancouver, 2013
Commissioned by Cressey Developments

(peek-a-boo) pays homage to Cedar Cottage, one of the villages of early Vancouver. It is based on photographs of local children inserted into the townhouse gates.  At certain angles the images coalesce, so that the faces appear and disappear as you move by.

In the breezeway these same faces peek out at us, as we walk by elegant thin light bollards.

Fragments of a face, a glance, a playful ‘peek-a-boo’ - the artwork is a community of glances, mischievous, playful, intimate. It is about the neighbourhoods we live in and a marker of home.
