About

Em

I am a visual artist and writer living in Toronto.  For me, art and writing is a way into the self and discovery of all of the beauty and horror that lurks there, unconsciously driving the way we are.  It is also a way out of the self to find patterns and meanings to help quell the anxieties. The interior and the exterior are alike in many ways, infinite and unknown, constructed of parallaxes and conflicts, some of which will be worked out and resolved in the process, many of which will not.
