Julie Pasila

Julie Pasila is an artist from Tkaronto/Toronto, Canada. Her practice examines the natural world through the use of analogue and experimental photographic processes that are durational in nature; many of her projects unfold over the course of several years and use repeated site visits to explore the landscape and its relationship to natural rhythms, timekeeping and place. Her work has been exhibited in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe, and her practice has been supported by the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council.



Waves of Lake Ontario.

These untitled works by photographer Julie Pasila were made by exposing light-sensitive photographic papers to the shoreline of Lake Ontario, recording the movement of water, stones and sand. The outcome is a waking dream, imprints of light and shape which speak to greater happenings and relationships between the elements.


The original prints were commissioned as billboards by Lake Effect Projects for The Ferry Terminal Billboard Project in Toronto.
