Where she calls home: Montreal, Canada
Fluid frame technique: Clay on glass
Fluid frame films: John and Michael (2004), Tying Your Own Shoes (2009)
ProTip: Practice and expect to rework shots – it’s not a quick technique to learn. Plan out your shots very well but leave room for some improvisation – sometimes the “happy accidents” lead to the most beautiful work. Let yourself be swept up by the meditative process and your work will reflect the joy of the process.
