For the seventh episode of Spotlight, Artsail's podcast, we feature the photographer Desirée Patterson and the Whistler Contemporary Gallery Senior Art Consultant Jenna Shannon.

Desirée Patterson is a Canadian photographer whose career began by documenting her extensive travels around the world, during which she often observed severely deteriorating and dilapidated environments. These experiences had a profound impact on Patterson and inspired the themes of her artistic practice: digital image capture and her post-manipulation of form, appearance, and orientation, transforming disparate layers into unified compositions.
