Donald Lawrence teaches in the Visual Arts program at Thompson Rivers University in British Columbia, Canada. He holds a BFA from the University of Victoria and an MFA from York University. Through gallery and landscape-based projects his artistic practice explores the meeting place of urban and wilderness culture. Such projects as the kayak/camera-obscura and the Quidi Vidi Camera Obscura relate his interests in sea kayaking and the ocean environment to a long-standing fascination with pre-photographic optical apparatuses. In addition to his studio and teaching practices Lawrence engages in a range of publication and conference activities and is the lead researcher of the SSHRC-funded Camera Obscura Project that will see an international group of artists and scholars realizing the Midnight Sun Camera Obscura Festival in Dawson City, Yukon, around summer solstice, 2015.
