The Lovers is a body of work that began during a month-long residency at St. Michael's Printshop is St. John's, Newfoundland and ongoing. Exploring themes present in folklore and fable, these prints draw reference to birds as harbingers of information and story.

​

Careful, delicate, sorrowful, these prints explore the loss of a lover and the loss of that intimacy - something that is so sacred in gay relationships. Imagined in pairs or in flocks of birds, the consideration of the "other" in a partnership is an underlying wind with this work. 

These birds are always displayed in pairs; closely intertwined, in flight away from each other, in conflict, or having passed on. Love is careful, difficult, and essential and these prints examine those complexities and analyze the constant movement for a partner or self preservation and the migratory nature of queer love.
