TIMOTHY NASH JOHNSTON



Biography



Timothy Nash Johnston is a photographer, artist and teacher. After graduating with a Fine Arts Degree from Mount Allison University he moved to Mexico City to develop his career. Over the next 12 years, he explored visual projects using a variety of photographic tools such as his own pinhole camera, unique flash photos, and a new technique of repurposing aging photo materials with surprising results. During this time, he received a Masters in Education.




On his return to Canada in 2001, he continued to teach art and develop visual ideas, creating two more pinhole projects, two fish eye lens works, and expanding the photo chemicals on exposed photo paper. He has added to his repertoire a significant number of sketchbooks using the humble ballpoint pen and a large group of small soapstone sculptures under the title: Fins, Wings and Limbs.




He resides in Mississauga, ON




The Fifth Room is the name of his studio.
