A long reflection on a seemingly unremarkable federal heritage site in my Ottawa neighbourhood. I layer contemporary photographs of Geomatics Canada over vintage topographical maps, originally created in the same building in the late 1950s. Companion cyanotypes detail architectural elements.

Captured during solitary morning walks, these photographs examine the enduring textures and unintended still lifes found in the margins of the Japanese street.

Observations of the language of urban transition. These photographs document the street-level identity of Toronto, capturing the flattened planes and shifting layers that define the city’s everyday character.
