Any Day Now
Any Day Now is a site-responsive installation series that documents some of the many homes in the Lower Mainland which are sitting empty, waiting to be torn down to make way for development.
These houses range from derelict to just recently vacated. Some are unnerving, some charming, some still have children’s toys in the yard, potted plants on the porch, and curtains in the windows. All hold a mysterious magnetic draw. After each house is demolished, its drawing is transformed into a lantern and installed as a memorial on the vacant lot where the house sat, like a miniature, illuminated ghost of the now vanished home. The lantern installations are photographed, creating a growing archive and a record of a rapidly shifting urban landscape.
