Mixed Media.9 X 12 “. 2024
Layers of Kensington explores Toronto’s Kensington Market through fragmented imagery, transferred photographs, collage, and distressed surfaces. Drawn from the artist’s original photographs, the works blur documentation and memory, transforming storefronts, murals, signage, and street scenes into textured urban relics. Weathered surfaces and translucent imagery echo the evolving character of the neighbourhood itself — a place shaped by migration, commerce, graffiti, and continual reinvention. Balancing painterly abstraction with recognizable architecture, the series captures Kensington Market as both a physical space and a cultural memory embedded within the city.
