Growth is not always a good thing. In Edmonton, where I reside, architectural heritage is somewhat forgotten in the pursuit of ‘progress’ - old photographs are all that remains of our city’s shared history of the built environment.
Relics depicts a scene in the Italian city of Pisa, where the remarkable basilica looms behind a nearby building which ‘wears’ its history on its facade like the lines on the face of an elderly person. There is a special beauty with the character created by time.

Donald’s true passion has forever been art. Portraying the links between science/nature and art is central to his being - he seeks to discover the 'architecture' of the natural world and how living things (including humans) ‘fit’ in, thus creating an awareness and greater appreciation of the somewhat 'invisible'.
"I work towards the preservation of wonder, the 'wonder' of nature, and the 'wonder' that each of us carried in our hearts as children which sometimes evaporates with age. I want viewers to not only value and become conscious of the beauty that surrounds us, but also the beauty within."
