**CD in gatefold carboard wallet, 300 copies. To be released in mid July 2020.** Ocean Front Property represents a desired experience juxtaposed with a banal reality. The work investigates the idea of longing to be somewhere else, a mirage of aspired imagery and sound, made within the landlocked province of Alberta, where the nearest ocean is over 1000 kilometres away. The objects, spaces and sounds act as metaphors, part of a concrete existence they reside in, but contrasted with the imagined existence they represent.

Ocean Front Property is a photobook and soundtrack. The photobook will be released in the fall of 2020. To experience the photobook please visit: www.fieldsawake.com/ocean-front-property
