Dustbunnies in the Wild

Observed in their natural habitat, dustbunnies reveal complex social—and sometimes anti-social—behaviour. These slow-moving illusive creatures can often be found snoozing underneath common objects, usually gathering in small herds.

Dustbunnies are staunch survivors and can be found in the harshest of environments. They can survive the deadliest of natural toxicants, including clorox, spic’n’span, and mister clean. As with many creatures in the wild, dustbunnies are not immune to human encroachment. With new human technology like the vacuum, and the more recent technological advancement such as the Swiffer, dustbunnies face an uphill battle for survival. However, as dustbunnies are prolific breeders, it is hoped that they will be able to overcome these seemingly insurmountable obstacles and survive.

This social grouping was last seen during the Great Spring Cleaning of 2007.

Pinhole Photography

Pictures of John

This series reflects an exploration into perception and its cousin, perspective. Taken from an "ant's eye view", these photographs distort perspective and scale to expose the mundane – the inches become yards and the regular becomes colossal, tiles become fields and the toilet becomes monumental. Collected toiletries and personal items reveal a portrait of the inhabitants. The undersides of sinks, the pipes and the leads to the toilet that are seen anew create another perspective on the everyday.

Monster Under the Sink (coming soon)

It's a place awash with skulls and crossbones – cleansers, detergents, pesticides and solvents. Leaks go unnoticed and puddles fester. The community of creepy-crawlies defy eviction. Things that otherwise have no place to go often find a home here; all neatly hidden behind scores of plastic grocery bags. And perhaps once a year, someone dons a pair of latex gloves and takes it on: The Monster Under the Sink.
