Public art lightbox commissioned by MKG127 gallery (Toronto) 2024-26. “The Light of Six Moons” refers back to an expanded photography installation made by the artist (The Light of Two Thousand Moons) through which thousands of color combinations were created by chance, through the layering of 240 35mm slides shot by the artist. Each image was of the clear, daylit sky as viewed through cinema lighting gels (transparent, tinted material used to create lighting effects in film). Working with seven colors, Briard mixed and layered them to create countless variations and tones, a nod to the fact that only three colours combine to create the limitless spectrum of hues visible to the human eye. Briard asks us to consider how our own perception could be seen to act as another gel, or filter, shading our vision and altering reality. The cyclical projections from the installation also evokes the stages of the moon, itself a blank canvas coloured by human subjectivity. Fittingly, while we perceive the moon to be white, it shifts in colour depending on the circumstances through which we perceive it.
For Briard, this lightbox project felt like an apt sign for a gallery which expands our perception, while the range of colors is intended to honor all of the artworks which will be shown in the space during its run. Commissioned by MKG127 Gallery, Toronto, 2024-26.
Public art, 12 x 5' x 7' photographic panels, commissioned by the New Westminster Museum + the City of New Westminster, 2017.
Using portable video projectors, the artist has been projecting images of temporary homes sourced through social media calls around the City of New Westminster, which she then photographs. Process-based, the final outcome of this work is determined by the artist’s encounters with space. Presented as a large-scale photographic artwork in The Brewery District in New Westminster, the work seeks to engage with discussions about our relationship to our environment, land ownership, and varied conceptions of shelter.

Paracosmic Lands is a public art commission by Capture Photography Festival and the City of Richmond Public Art. It consists of a series of four backlit panels installed at the Aberdeen skytrain station No.3 Road Art Column until June 2017.
The commission Paracosmic Lands is created using a photographic approach the artist developed during a residency on the Costa de la Luz in Spain. Using prisms and handmade lenses to mimic the idea of a crystalline vision, the resulting photographs deconstruct and combine elements populating the visible landscape. Paracosmic Lands, through its mysterious prismatic and illuminated images, invite passersby to consider how we understand the world that surrounds us and how it can never be fixed; it is in constant growth and transformation.

“Any Day Now” is an in-situ photographic installation presented as a public art billboard. Seeking to cause a momentary break in a passerby’s visual experience, the work uses recursive frames within frames, creating a spacial tunnelling effect. The French name for this is “mise en abyme”; translated literally to “put into the void.” By decontextualizing what the viewer expects of billboards, using the optical recursive void, and offering a stereoscopic 3D viewing potential, “Any Day Now” underlines connections between visual attention, wonder, and possibility.
