CFB Chilliwack

Colour Photographs

            In the ongoing photographic series CFB Chilliwack, I survey the effects that economics play on communities and the flexible intent of military housing. Canadian Forces Base Chilliwack was closed after the Cold War when Canada decreased military spending.  The military housing is being transformed from its cold, ridged functionality into more liveable, residential housing.  Blending one idea of utility with a new idea of home, the revised structures fail to escape their original intentions.
